If there's anything worse than being 16, it's having parents visibly reliving their own teenage years in your anguished presence.

Of one thing there is no doubt: if Paris makes demands of the heart, then Munich makes demands of the stomach.

People always say theres no such thing as bad publicity, and you always think theyre right, because it seems self-evident: nobodys going to buy a magazine that nobody ever talks about, so people should want to buy a magazine that everybodys talking about.

There was a time when no difficult subjects were ever aired in the 'Lady', and sadly, life isn't like that.

It's very hard to self-motivate without someone standing over you snarling, ready to hurl the chalk at your head at the slightest slackening.

I'm worried about looking like a bad person when, in fact, I try to be a good person. I don't like the public image that I've been dressed with and it worries me.

I want 'The Lady' magazine to be restored to its traditional place in the pantheon of weekly magazines.
