years challenges next
I did the Kilimanjaro climb a few years ago, then the six-day trek to Machu Picchu in Peru so this bike ride to raise money for Great Ormond Street seemed like the next big challenge.
fun boys rocks
I did like hanging out with all the rock'n'roll boys - it was fun but all those relationships didn't work out.
weekend long half
At weekends, I've been going on long but steady-paced four-and-a-half-hour bike rides.
girl thinking role-models
Young girls look to me as a role model and think I crash diet to keep slim. Thats not true, I always eat properly.
choices young mum
It wasn't through choice that I became a mum at 36. I wanted to be a young mum but things never worked out for me.
sushi salad
In LA, I live on sushi or salad.
trying about-yourself feels
If you try to breastfeed and it's not working, then you don't feel particularly good about yourself.
thinking facts want
Everybody thinks if you do one thing, you can't do something else. So I like the fact that I can be versatile if I want to.
two people different
Like a typical Gemini I'm changeable, I can be two different types of people. I can be very outgoing, but sometimes very shy.
men wanted feels
Men pretend they don't like to be nagged, but they love it, really. It makes them feel wanted.
fun breasts can-do
I do like my breasts. They're great, so much fun. You can do what you like with them.
mother daughter stars
My daughter is my biggest achievement. She is a little star and my life has changed so much for the better since she came along.
men thinking fabulous
Now I look back and think if I'd spent more time enjoying myself instead of crying into my pillow over men, my 20s would have been fabulous!
running children thinking
I'd got to that age when I was out on a date with a guy and I would be thinking: Don't mention your age, don't mention that you want a child - because they would just run out the door.
