If you love food and you love red wine and they put you in France, you’re in a good place and you’re in a bad place at the same time. You have to weigh yourself every day, and you have to have an alarm number. When you get to that number, you have to start putting it in reverse.

Before I had my child, animals were my life. I slept with four dogs in my bed.

I am so, so lucky. I am the luckiest girl in the world, really. And still with access to everything I could possibly want I still say 'Oh dear, what am I going to wear today?' There's no ending to that question!

I like being a mother. For some people, it's so much work that it can be a burden. But it's not for me, maybe because I had my daughter, Valentina, later on in life, at 41.

It's very easy to feel someone's pain when you love them.

I'm good at working, but I'm very good at playing.

I think if I was not in love, I would probably let myself go faster. Love gives me the vanity to continue.
