You shouldn't run away from your problems, you need to aim straight for the heart of the beast.

Nannies love working in our house because they never know who's gonna walk through the door.

I always ask the booksellers to look at me and recommend a book; 9 out of 10, they get it right; it’s usually a book about someone dysfunctional. To me bookstores are like brothels of imagination, each book is luring me over going, 'Read me, read me'.

Mum used to hide love letters from my boyfriends and put me down. Now I understand that she was a Polish immigrant forced to settle in Chicago. She was jealous of the freedom life gave me.

I am lucky to have good Polish skin that doesn't wrinkle so I might be around for a few years yet.

My whole career has been an act of revenge.

I knew nothing about football, then someone showed me a film of Petit and I realised how interesting the game could be. He is divine. When I met him I could barely speak, he was so gorgeous. Women will love that show.
