I know a lot of people didn't expect our relationship to last - but we've just celebrated our two months' anniversary.
I'm a very physical person. I like to run and I like to work out.
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.
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.
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.
The idea of doing theatre always terrified me because I get terrible stage fright. In the early 1970s I was offered a panto but the thought of going on stage was just too mortifying.
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.
Back then I was called Dumbo because of my ears. I was called Fatty, too. It was hurtful so I became like the class clown. I became the one who was kicked around.
As for the stage fright, it never goes away. When I'm waiting in the wings to go on, it's agony every single time but I stay focused and I know that once I'm on stage it'll be fine; I'll be in my happy little bubble.
Think of your pension and start saving. Like my father, I have been a spendthrift, and I regret that.
