reality thinking tv-shows
People will always want it [reality TV shows], if it's produced well and if it's telling people's stories - that's all anybody wants: to connect with another human being on a very basic level. If the stories are told well, I think it can continue and continue.
people honest
I love people who are very honest and very open and don't pretend to be anything they're not.
birthday hate party
I hate birthdays. I hate birthday parties. I hate them. I don't know what it is, anybody's only got to come wafting near me with a piece of cake with a candle on and I break out in hives.
girl sleep exercise
I'm a low maintenance girl. I try to do very little when I don't have to. I find that if I have regular 'maintenance' treatments, I can be ready to go out in 5 minutes. I get my hair coloured, have regular massages, and love getting my lashes tinted and my brows shaped. Plus heaps of exercise, and as much sleep as possible. That way when I'm going out all I have to do is slick on some gloss, and a bit of blush and I am ready to go! Of course the LA sun helps too.
spiders different needs
If I'm interviewing someone I need to know everything about them - I do these massive spider diagrams. Everything under different categories, and certain questions in other categories.
reality easy parody
All great reality shows have a very, very similar format. That's why it was so easy to parody.
junk junk-food crave
I just don't crave junk food.
real hair healthy
Less is more. If I don't have to wear make-up, I don't. If there's no real reason to have my hair 'done', I leave it. To keep it looking healthy, I ensure its properly shampooed and conditioned every time I wash it.
style west laid-back
I'm getting comfortable with West Coast style, which is more laid-back than British style.
appreciate lucky
I'll never stop appreciating how lucky I am.
feet size swimmer
I'm a great swimmer, probably due to the size of my feet.
wine sleep hard-work
I think if you look after yourself on a regular basis, and do the prep beforehand, you don't need to put lots of effort into looking good. It's about finding the right balance - if you have a good diet, drink lots of water, exercise regularly and sleep, you won't look bad on a regular basis. Then you can afford the occasional naughty slip up once in a while, going out and having a delicious glass of wine with friends, having a great laugh and chat then realizing its 2am isn't so bad - you've put in the hard work!
tvs kind trouble
I started off doing live TV, so I kind of learnt that if I get myself into trouble, I get myself out of it.
pride tables rooms
I have a Damien Hirst spot painting which I love. It has pride of place over my dining-room table.
