I don't find offensive that I'm being labelled a babe by blokes. I'm absolutely flattered.

As a working mum, it's really hard to find time in the day to just relax and take a break. I am constantly on the go.

Being a mother is quite tiring. There's not much time to do anything. You just rush around and it's hard work.

Being busy with work, and as a mum, I'm a big fan of online shopping.

Elizabeth I was my favourite monarch though, what an inspiration, she did great things for women.

I also try to eat as much raw food and clean food as possible.

I am not a fan of Facebook or Twitter. They both allow too much information to be available and they make privacy a thing of the past.

I am the girliest girl.

I don't waste money on smart, expensive clothes.

I grew up Windlesham in Surrey, which is a beautiful and quaint village.

I hate alarms. If they go off I get really tetchy. I hate them. They just get me going, I'm hyper at the best of times, but they drive me mad.

I have always enjoyed drawing and painting but I don't always find the time to do much these days.

I love animals and feel very strongly that people should not be allowed to buy a pet if they are not able to look after it.

I love spring flowers: daffodils and hyacinths are the ultimate flower for me. They are the essence of spring.

I think I think I am Superwoman sometimes but I am not.

I wanted to be a fashion journalist and went to the London College of Fashion to do a journalism and promotion course.

I was quite creative at school, and was also interested in fashion, but I was shy - I'm still not the loudest of people, believe it or not.

I was very sporty at school, and sport was probably the thing I was best at, but my real passion was for fashion.

I'm a bit of a Luddite and I hate the internet.

I'm not a feminist at all.

I've got a really sweet tooth and sometimes I just have to have some chocolate.

It is still my dream to own a little flower shop.

My idea of a good night has always been having a lovely meal and a proper conversation.

Sailing is a completely new sport for me and I wasn't sure what to expect but I've definitely got the bug.

The idea that so many kids eat rubbish and sit on computers all day long appals me and getting them into sport is a major way of getting them off computers and leading healthier lives.

I’ve got a really sweet tooth and sometimes I just have to have some chocolate.

I can remember the frustration of not being able to talk. I knew what I wanted to say, but I could not get the words out, so I would just scream.

What I try to do for my readers is to pass on some of the things that I found out about being thirteen after doing it for forty years.

In this watering-place I acted an heroic character, badly studied; and being a novice on such a stage, I forgot my part before a pair of lovely blue eyes.

Young people discovering their sexuality must know they walk with a strong tradition and that they are not alone. They have a right to information without being pressured.

Being a publicist is like management in a lot of ways - you're their friend, you're their mother, you're their confidante.

I mean, all alternative comedy is are comedians that have being doing it for so long, for so long, that they were relaxed enough to start becoming personal on stage.

I became hooked on the idea of being able to shoot an image and process it myself, and end up with a product.

Being a cover artist is not like being a real artist. That's just copying what someone else did.

It is too maddening. I've got to fly off, right now, to some devilish navy yard, three hours in a seasick steamer, and after being heartily sick, I'll have to speak three times, and then I'll be sick coming home. Still, who would not be sick for England?

I don't like being recognised, I have no interest in being famous at all, I just do what I do. If I could be like Captain Kirk and beam myself up and then beam myself down, I would!

I'm glad I'm not Brezhnev. Being the Russian leader in the Kremlin. You never know if someone's tape recording what you say.

Being a musician is what I do, but it's not what I am.

We're all like children. We may think we grow up, but to me, being grown up is death, stopping thinking, trying to find out things, going on learning.

We've had it very clear to the Bosnians that our obligation to equip and train their forces is completely conditional on the foreign forces being gone.

My parents were amazing people who had no business being together - and they knew it.

Teachers started recognizing me and praising me for being smart in science and that made me want to be even smarter in science!

Sure, I get the blues. But what I try to do, is apply joy to the blues, you know? I don't know if it's a technique, or just being bent that way, being raised by the folks I was raised by.

Kind thoughts are rarer than either kind words or deeds. They imply a great deal of thinking about others. This in itself is rare. But they also imply a great deal of thinking about others without the thoughts being criticisms. This is rarer still.

The judge turned his back towards me, sitting back on his judge's chair, while I was in the witness stand being questioned. The whole courtroom was full of these anarchists, leftists, communists and Jewish lobbyists.

For me, being in front of the camera and training go hand in hand.

I define success as being comfortable with yourself and your life. And that is about as good as it gets, really.

Being injured is something that happens in this sport. Anybody who gets into it understands that.
