My mum worked as a secretary for Christian Dior. She looked like a movie star.

I am a happy person and I choose to be a positive person. I think some people think my life has been tragic and there have been these horrible dramas but things really have been, and are, fine.

When something bad is written about me, I find it hurtful. So I choose not to look at it.

I think when you are younger you bounce back quicker from knocks.

Up until the age of 30 I could eat whatever I wanted - I mean, literally, I never put on a pound; if anything, I was criticised in the media for being too skinny.

I am a survivor and not a victim. Life isn't perfect. When you get a knock, you have to get up, dust yourself down and get on with it.

Kindness Day should be everyday of your life.
