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.
I have always worked and I would say I'm generous with money - if somebody needed anything I would always give it to them.
George Hamilton is one of the funniest men I have ever known.
Fame overcomes everything.
This is the moment behind which I could forget every other moment that has passed.
I used to collect vintage clothing - exquisite lace dresses, embroidered shawls and ornate jewelry - but that's just not me any more.
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.
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.
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 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.
