I don't connect much with the present. I have more of an affinity for what came in the past.

Dressing up is like therapy; I feel better in myself when I've made an effort.

Some men think that if you're empowered and sure of yourself then you're a man-hater, but it's like, 'No, I'm just the same as you are, but maybe just a tiny bit more confident.'

There are lots of beautiful areas in England, and I am lucky enough to live in a stunning part of a very beautiful area.

You cannot schedule death.

I'm not that materialistic. I like nice clothes and that, but I don't spend lots of money on stuff. I'm not really into TV, I don't have an iPod, I've got a gramophone.

I like someone with a really good and dark sense of humour.
