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!
brought dead family knew met time
I knew nothing about my mum's family. Her parents were dead by the time she was 14. She was brought up by two aunts, and she only ever met one uncle.
I want to do something to help people.
wear
I try not to wear too much makeup, as I think there comes a point where too much makes you look older.
anyone people
Drugs seem to turn people into paranoid bores. Why would anyone want to go there?
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.
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.
love
I love 'Saturday Live' with Fi Glover. I find that very relaxing.
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?
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.
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.
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!
