anyone obsessed people work
In my twenties, I was obsessed with what other people thought of me. In my thirties, it's about my children, my husband, my work. In my forties, it's going to be about me, and I shan't care what anyone else thinks. I can't wait!
definitely men
Men are definitely getting more avant-garde, experimenting with colours, patterns and fabrics.
mine
It has long been a childhood dream of mine to have a farm.
country frightened wildlife wonderful
I used to be frightened of the countryside after dark. Now I enjoy it. There is something wonderful about those strange country and wildlife noises.
careful high money rather saving since spend
Since having kids, I am more careful about saving rather than splurging. I used to spend all my money on trainers and high heels that I couldn't walk in.
cart fallen falling neck nurses saying spent
I spent a day in a neck brace on a hospital trolley after falling from a horse and cart in Ireland. All the nurses thought I was a traveler, which made me laugh. Who else comes into a hospital saying they've fallen off a horse and cart?
cover girls insecure models scared
Yes, I was on the cover of 'Vogue,' but girls on the cover of 'Vogue' are the most scared of rejection. Models are the most insecure of them all. Actually, actors and actresses are, and then musicians, and then models!
adult bruise great kicked stomach
Arnica is great. I got kicked in the stomach by a horse once, and some adult slapped arnica all over it, and I had no bruise at all to show for my pain.
believe best considered height kids people school teased
As a teenager, I was teased at school about my height and long legs, but now they are my best assets. Kids can be mean. When I was at school, I considered myself ugly, but that was when I was silly enough to believe that what other people thought mattered. Now I think I am pretty. I'm not beautiful. There is a difference.
good lose loves
My husband is experimental, loves to cook, and is really good at it. If I do the cooking, I lose my appetite. Why is that?
love
I love 'Saturday Live' with Fi Glover. I find that very relaxing.
dad growing lucky pedal toys
I was very lucky growing up, and I got all my dad's and aunts' toys from the 1950s and 1960s and loved those old pedal cars.
boarding hard tough work
It was tough going to boarding school. It was very hard work.
cream setting wear
It's all very well setting up your own brand of face cream or exercise wear - but Christ, it's so shallow.
