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 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.

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

If you're in love with someone maybe you can show it too much.

I'm happy to be at home with the kids, in my flannel pajamas; that's a treat.

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.
