I listen to my body, I give it things it wants and I eliminate things it doesn't want.
I say I don't sleep with married men, but what I mean is that I don't sleep with happily married men.
I don't sleep with happily married men.
I'd been a housewife and mother to our son Thomas Jefferson, and I was looking for a new career. So when my agent called and said a producer named Paul Elliott from E&B productions, the biggest panto company in the country at the time, wanted to meet me I agreed.
I was never particularly wild, just very busy and often didn't think about what I was putting into my body. Today things are very different. I stopped smoking in my late 30s; I avoid wheat and gluten as this makes me feel bloated and sluggish; exercise regularly and bounce out of bed.
I'd rather kill myself than dress like Victoria Beckham in towering heels day after day.
I own a home in Sweden, I rent in both Los Angeles and in Britain, and I'm constantly travelling.
A lot of young actresses have a hard time combining a reasonable love life with a career.
I met Peter Sellers when I was 21 and we got married ten days later. He was not right mentally, but I hung in there for four years before I left.
I am good at down grading - I have found I can live the same lifestyle in a two-bedroom apartment as in a five-bedroom house.
I think I suffer from body dysmorphia - I don't see what other people see.
Generally, I'm a pretty positive, but like any other working person, if the jobs aren't coming in, I do get depressed.
I believe you need scientific proof that something works before you entrust your health to it.
I will do my best to entertain. That's what I am: an entertainer.
