I haven't seen John since 1992, and I'd heard stories that maybe he wasn't too well.
I do think it's very important, if you're going to spend the rest of your life with somebody, to know that you really like them. Because when the pheromones wear off, which of course they will, you have to have a strong basis.
It was great. He was wonderful. He looked terrific.
It's like the Roman Empire. Wasn't everybody running around just covered with syphilis? And then it was destroyed by the volcano.
There are some brilliant designers but their clothes only really suit 6 foot 20-year-olds.
I'm a woman for all seasons. I mix 'n' match, do designer and high street - keep all my good pieces. I design all my evening and cocktail dresses most of the time as I dislike what is out there.
Jennifer Aniston is cute, but I wouldn't call her beautiful. I think that is why Cheryl Cole is so popular, because she is just so pretty and the public are starved of gorgeous people. When I was young, everybody on screen was gorgeous.
I've never chased fame. I came into this business to be a theatre actress. I was nine when I first appeared on stage. But I can't say I would turn my back on fortune. I'm someone who enjoys the benefits of money.
Only fine cigars are worth smoking and only men who smoke fine cigars are worth kissing.
There are very few designers in Hollywood today who know how to really flatter a woman's body, and Mark Zunino is at the top of my list.
When I was at school, I was terrible at algebra and arithmetic, but I was always the best at English and literature. And acting, of course.
I think health is another exceedingly important thing.
I have girlfriends who've had Botox and been left with lumps in their faces. And the lips, don't even get me started.
I'm a bit shy, I suppose, and a bit lazy.
