audrey noses saw
When I was younger, I used to look at movie stars with pencil-thin noses and think about a nose job. I've got a grown-up baby nose; it's not chiseled and structured. Then I saw how beautiful Audrey Tatou was in 'Amelie' and thought, 'She's got a nose like mine, and if she can have a baby nose, so can I.'
singing acting things-i-love
I never rule anything out. I'm an entertainer. Be it presenting, singing, acting, I just do things I love.
want flags overweight
I don't want to fly the flag for being unhealthy and overweight, but I don't want to fly the flag for being too thin, either.

Adele is great because she promotes the idea of being happy as you are.
ice i-can
I can't dance on ice, because I'm like Bambi on ice.
men genius difficult
If you're a man and you ask questions, you're a genius; if you're a woman, you're difficult.
bored healthy sugar
There are times when I'm so bored with being healthy and organic that I crave sugar and additives.
believe simple love-is
I believe love isn't simple, and it's one of the things that makes people break all the rules.
running night roles
Any actress will tell you, when you've been given a starring role in the initial run of a show, you want to be getting the standing ovations every night, not just on review night.
real eye different
I look very different on camera compared with how I do in real life. On camera, I look my best when everything is enhanced, especially my eyes - I like a smoky eye. In real life, I like myself best in tinted moisturiser, lip balm and mascara.
thinking the-end-of-the-day acting
I think you have to be careful not to do too much as yourself. Otherwise you stop getting the acting roles, and at the end of the day that's what I love.
fun years passionate
I'm a Taurean, so I'm very passionate and determined and materialistic. Down the years, I've spent a lot of money and saved a bit of money and had a lot of fun.
dancer theatre done
I've been told if you're an actress you can't sing, if you're a dancer you can't act, you can't do theatre and be respected if you've done a TV soap, you can't have a No. 1 record. All these different things they've told me I can't do, but I wanted to do them, so I've done them.
taken exercise simple
It's taken a while, but I've finally grown up and got my head around the fact that the healthier the food you eat is and the more exercise you do, the lighter you'll be. It really is that simple.
