dream hands blokes
Sad old blokes, I'm told, now dream of me with a whip in hand.
holiday thinking giving
I have been asked to lend people money - I now only ever give whatever amount is comfortable without thinking it will come back, otherwise when you see that person wearing a new coat or going on holiday you think but yes, where is my money?
daughter mother views
We mothers of grown-up daughters tend to view them with a mixture of love, exasperation, irritation and awe.
mother daughter soul
Every mother and daughter should make time for a trip together. It's good for the soul.
nice men three
I like one nice man because he gets three tickets for the cinema so we've got somewhere to put our coats. He passes the test. I've been quite surprised because I really didn't expect to be wined and dined, and it's quite nice.
minutes meetings ten
I do have a rule that very few meetings are worth more than ten minutes.
assistants size designer
I was thrilled when a designer shop assistant said I was a size smaller than Madonna!
couple together needs
Every couple needs glue to stay together. Like all marriages, I suspect, if you're busy you don't see it coming until you can't put the toothpaste back in the tube. It's a bit like going broke. It happens slowly and then very quickly.
ysl designer favourite
My favourite designers are Alexander McQueen, YSL, Eskandar, Donna Karan and Lanvin.
lunch take-me accountants
My accountant regularly asks to take me to lunch. I always say I can't afford it.
single-mom needs looks
I have never, for a single moment, been aware of pressure from anyone in television about how I dress, what my shape is or how I speak. I've always written my own scripts. I've always been the first to point out that I need to be fit. I need to look good.
summer believe years
Believe me, I've done my time travelling the world in cramped conditions and carrying my own luggage. Now my leisure is summers in the south of France or the Hamptons, walking in Connemara, and year-round shopping in Manhattan and Paris.
dating enough hard
I am dating, but it is hard to find someone quick enough and funny enough. I am quite demanding.
growing-up growing tricks
Growing up in a business-orientated family meant that I naturally learnt the tricks of the trade.
