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.
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.
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.
