I don't believe we own our children, they're their own souls who make their own choices, we just guide and support them.
The birth of my sons. The birth of new emotions...what a privilege. What a blessing.
I like colourful knickers, but most importantly a great pair of knickers should be taken off with more joy than they were put on.
If I have a choice between putting my kids to bed and going to a party, I'll put my kids to bed. If I have a choice of going to a restaurant or having friends round, I'll have friends round. Every time.
You have nothing to sell except for the image: The image is everything.
I come from a country where you don't wear clothes most of the year. Nudity is the most natural state.
Being a public person doesn't necessarily mean you're a piece of meat for everybody.
G-strings are uncomfortable. Girls want real knickers now.
I feel beautiful when I'm at peace with myself. When I'm serene, when I'm a good person, when I've been considerate of others.
I'm almost 50, so I obviously don't have the same body that I had when I was 20. But I also don't have the same mindset either, when I was wracked with self-consciousness and insecurity. Now I really appreciate my maturity as a woman, my depth of spirit and soul and my understanding of who I am and what's important to me.
I used to wear heels because I wanted to show people I wasn't ashamed of being tall.
It's not vanity to feel you have a right to be beautiful. Women are taught to feel we're not good enough, that we must live up to someone else's standards. But my aim is to cherish myself as I am.
