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 most want to be remembered for being as great a mother to James and Lennon as my mum was to me and my brother Jamie.

I'm Catholic and Mum taught me the comfort that you can get from going to church. But I'm an a la carte Catholic. I love all the pomp and ceremony of it.

I think that we can often be eating and not even really acknowledging that we are putting something about our mouths. I think there is lot to be said about eating dinner and not having the distraction of the TV.

Life is never going to be perfect, as much as we want it to be, and I have to lead by example.

I always carry prayer cards to St. Jude and St. Martha with me.

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.
