If you tell the truth you get into trouble, and that's why politicians are extremely dull.

The reason we all need a mutton alert, which needs constant testing, like smoke alarms, is because there is really no such thing as age-appropriate dressing any longer, as I know because my wardrobe is interchangeable with my daughter's.

I don't mind being called snobbish, a pain and a social climber, but being called unkind really hurts.

I went freelance in 1996 and my children are now teenagers and it seemed right.

Of course I'm naughty. I've always had to compete for attention, you see.

Being blonde, for me, means never having to say: 'I'll have the honey-striped half-head of highlights for £200,' to a bored colourist in a Mayfair salon, which is much more satisfying, not to mention cheap.
