There isn't anything I don't eat, although I'm not too keen on creepy crawly things. Other than that, I'm quite adventurous. I like all types of red meat, and I'm not a fussy eater at all.

Be yourself - it's the inner beauty that counts. You are your own best friend, the key to your own happiness, and as soon as you understand that - and it takes a few heartbreaks - you can be happy.

It's a bit of a headache being a perfectionist. You're never satisfied.

To keep my back from getting stiff, I have a strict regime every morning of stretching and do yoga once a week and Pilates. 'Strictly Come Dancing' in 2008 was great for my fitness.

War is good for absolutely nothing, because no matter how far and wide apart we may live, we're all the same under the skin. We all want to live, laugh and love.

I'm a romantic and will only marry for love where there's respect and compatibility. I'd like to be with someone if the right person came along. I really like male company. I like the male mind.

With age comes a greater wisdom, an ease and comfort with oneself.

I have done so many love scenes in the past that I have learned how to pull off a sexy smoulder on the dance floor.

I've never felt the need to be defined by a man.

I am simply not such a slave to my vanity, and I don't want to be, because as you get older you really have to start accepting the inevitable.

Sadly, the timing's never been right. There have been men who would have married me but I didn't feel the same, and vice versa.

How can the heart and mind work together? The mind wants logic and to travel in straight lines, while the heart wants to be free and travel upward in spirals to dizzying heights.

If you still have fear, you love life

Life truly becomes exactly what you make it. All the choices lead to the reality you are experiencing.

Long have I dwelt forgotten hereIn pining woe and dull despair

Today every invention is received with a cry of triumph which soon turns into a cry of fear.

I distrust speech therapy. Words are the language of lies and evasions. Music cannot lie. Music talks to the heart.

The marvel of marvels is not that God, in His infinite love, has not elected all this guilty race to be saved, but that He has elected any.

I'm planning on how I want to tell my own story. I feel like my situation and my experiences are unique in some ways.

With my dog I don't get no respect. He keeps barking at the front door. He don't want to go out. He wants me to leave.

Prepare for the worst so the best will happen
