I will do my best to entertain. That's what I am: an entertainer.
I love luxury, I love the high life, and I have to foot the bills - I have received practically nothing from my marriages and relationships.
I would teach U.K. parents how to stop their children throwing litter. London is a beautiful city but its streets are disgusting.
I'm a light sleeper, but so long as I'm wearing earplugs, I sleep well.
My father had his own business, a clothing store, which he inherited from his father. He travelled abroad frequently and was quite extravagant, so we had skiing holidays and summer holidays on the beach.
I'm a very physical person. I like to run and I like to work out.
I'm not scared of snakes, spiders or heights. I have three children; as a mum, you can't be afraid of things like that.
I am planning my one woman show. It will be a showcase of my life. It starts at the beginning and ends where I am today. It will have every single inch of my life - as much as you can get into an hour. I will be touring everywhere.
I tried the Atkins diet in the Seventies when pregnant with my son, as I didn't want to pile on the pounds. Now, so long as I'm healthy, I don't care what my scales say.
I used to smoke cigarettes, ten a day, but gave up when I was 28. Now my vice is several cups of coffee a day, which isn't great if you're prone to weak bones as I am, as caffeine can leach calcium.
I know a lot of people didn't expect our relationship to last - but we've just celebrated our two months' anniversary.
I was so beautiful but I didn't realise it for years. I saw pictures of myself and even I was stunned.
I was brought up very conservatively. My father was positively Victorian - I wasn't even allowed to wear my hair down.
A lot of young actresses have a hard time combining a reasonable love life with a career.
