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.
believe whatever
I don't believe in diets, as I always put whatever I lost right back on again. I think we should all just eat healthily and get as much exercise as we can.
since trust worked
I've worked since I was 18. I have no trust fund and don't expect anything.
anyone people
Drugs seem to turn people into paranoid bores. Why would anyone want to go there?
assume line money people tend
People tend to assume that I come from a long line of castle-dwelling gentry and am made of money.
assumed found income money people private rather
People have always assumed that I am privileged. And that has been a problem sometimes. When I first started modelling, and I was schlepping around London with no money, I found it rather irksome that people thought I had a private income when I didn't.
life
Books have always been an important part of my life.
children
I think children of divorced parents do grow up quicker. You just do.
banks coming cuts rate
We've got to make greedy banks pass on interest rate cuts in full, and we've got to see rents coming down.
design line opportunity
I have always loved clothes, and the opportunity to design my own line could not be missed. It's a dream job.
I hate my hair! When clean, it is fuzzy, and when not clean, it is lank.
government
The government has got to do something to help independent businesses.
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.
boarding hard tough work
It was tough going to boarding school. It was very hard work.
