I'm a light sleeper, but so long as I'm wearing earplugs, I sleep well.
I would teach U.K. parents how to stop their children throwing litter. London is a beautiful city but its streets are disgusting.
George Hamilton is one of the funniest men I have ever known.
Fame overcomes everything.
I used to collect vintage clothing - exquisite lace dresses, embroidered shawls and ornate jewelry - but that's just not me any more.
I dieted all the time in the Sixties, but we had no idea what dieting meant - we thought it meant not eating anything.
I listen to my body, I give it things it wants and I eliminate things it doesn't want.
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 will do my best to entertain. That's what I am: an entertainer.
I was brought up very conservatively. My father was positively Victorian - I wasn't even allowed to wear my hair down.
I spend hours mowing the lawn in absolutely straight lines on my tractor. If it's not right, I do it again.
Little bitty bags are completely impractical - I like big slouchy bags because they have to be comfortable for my lovely wee Chihuahua Tequila, who comes everywhere with me. I'm devoted to him, now my kids have long since flown the nest.
