The idea of doing theatre always terrified me because I get terrible stage fright. In the early 1970s I was offered a panto but the thought of going on stage was just too mortifying.

The ideal man doesn't exist. A husband is easier to find.

I would make a poor vegetarian because I adore meat.

I was so beautiful but I didn't realise it for years. I saw pictures of myself and even I was stunned.

I'm very organised these days, and I keep my life in my handbag, like most women.

I am as far from a hypochondriac as you could ever be.

I met Peter Sellers when I was 21 and we got married ten days later. He was not right mentally, but I hung in there for four years before I left.

I spend hours mowing the lawn in absolutely straight lines on my tractor. If it's not right, I do it again.

I am good at down grading - I have found I can live the same lifestyle in a two-bedroom apartment as in a five-bedroom house.

I used to collect vintage clothing - exquisite lace dresses, embroidered shawls and ornate jewelry - but that's just not me any more.

I say I don't sleep with married men, but what I mean is that I don't sleep with happily married men.

Success comes to the people who never ever doubt themselves.

When bad things happen or you don't get your own way, if you can open your heart to compassion instead of shunting it down in anger, you're going to create more light.

India and China have not shied away from addressing boundary questions, have wisdom to find a fair and mutually acceptable solution... We have been able to put all issues on the table.

For whose sake, henceforth, all his vows be such, As what he loves may never like too much.

imaginary things were often the only items of real substance in people's lives.

I can run up a wall and do a back flip - that's the most impressive thing that I can do.

Nothing finite is true, is interesting, is worthy to fix my attention. All that is particular is exclusive, and all that is exclusive repels me.

And all that is therein; Invisible and visible, Their notes let all things blend, For Christ the Lord is risen. Our joy that hath no end.

Faith doesn't reduce uncertainty. Faith embraces uncertainty.

Few people asking about my post Westlife plans!? I'll be making a solo album of course! The process has already started actually ;)
