When I first started out, I got criticism for the way I looked. I think, now, it's a good thing because, why would you want to look like everyone else?

I had my autograph down by the age of 13. I used to sign it everywhere.

I used to be hung up on my figure, but it's a waste of time. I don't believe in diets. Have four pints one night, be healthy the next.

Philately is normally a boys' hobby but for some reason it was in vogue at my junior school. Between the ages of eight and ten I collected avidly. I'd pore over my Stanley Gibbons book, obsessively checking my collection's value. I always hoped I'd stumble across a really valuable one, a Penny Black or an Inverted Jenny, but it wasn't to be.

I try my hardest not to read reviews.

I'm big in Russia, but no one's quite sure why.

I'm happy that I have a look, but I don't over-analyse whether or not it's beautiful or ugly.
