I do sometimes worry about getting older and the fact that I am not going to be a model for ever...[But] The fact that Helen Mirren can look so great in swimwear is an amazing boost for all women.

What I am is how I came out. No one's perfect and you just have to accept your flaws and learn to love yourself.

It makes my skin crawl to think about the violent ways snakes, lizards, alligators and other exotic creatures are raised and killed for boots, bags and belts.

I am a light person. I think of myself with a shield, a protective shield around me. And I think of bad things bouncing off it. Boom, boom, boom, ba-boom, ba- boom!

I have the thickest skin of anyone you'll ever meet. No one can say anything about me I haven't heard a million times before.

I'm into wellbeing, not because of social pressures to look a certain way, but because I'm interested in living a long, full and healthy life.

I've always paid my own way, I've never lived off anyone.

I've loved acting and dancing since I was a kid. Before anyone thought I was pretty or before I had a voluptuous figure, that was what I was going to do.

I regard myself as an actress but, obviously, not in the Dame Judi Dench league. That isn't a problem because I don't think we are ever likely to be up for the same part!

I don't want to make the same mistakes of being swept along with things, taking on jobs that I'm not passionate about, that I don't really believe in but that everyone says I should do.

My mum was never strict. I was allowed to go out to clubs underage, watch TV, listen to whatever music I wanted to, and that made me not rebel. I have never touched a drug in my life.

We're told to plug our nosesto escape the smells. Manure.Rot.Poverty?Reality.

Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. Most of my beholders are blind.

The greatest happiness in the world is to make others happy.

I understand what it is to go through emotional trauma and retreat and go into the world of your imagination. I understand how art and music can be a place of safety in a world of reinvention.

Don't try to add more years to your life. Better add more life to your years.

Everyone is a threat, and anyone can be beat at any given moment. No one is invincible.

I don't consider myself an actor, for me it's employment. Like the actor who's a waiter a lot, I'm an actor when I'm not on tour, in that that's a job I can do.

Technology changes so much that it has forced me to adapt.

Read to your bunny often and your bunny will read to you.

It used to be, everyone was entitled to their own opinion, but not their own facts. But that's not the case anymore. Facts matter not at all. Perception is everything.
