I think I'm slightly impulsive, sometimes organised and always in search of a bargain!

I'm a real home girl.

My parents were divorcing, and I think at certain times of your life you do attract the wrong type of person. You don't know any better, and you don't know how you'd like to be treated.

I'm the oldest and I've got two sisters.

I'm on VH1 now, will be working on ITV's This Morning again from September.

And my parents' separation was tricky. But my mum had always been really honest with me, and treated me like an adult even when I was really young, so I knew they hadn't been getting on.

I use fake tan myself with a self tanning spray.

I can still jump on the Tube. I don't want that to change.

I like to browse in Cartier, Chanel and Gucci and if something special grabs my eye I splash out.

I think I'm slightly impulsive, sometimes organised and always in search of a bargain!

Well I've got lots more great TV projects in the pipeline.

It was my first big relationship and it was just very abusive. I wouldn't give him the credit of naming him, if he ever reads this. But he was older, in the music business - or so he said.

In my hand luggage I always have my camera, iPod, make-up bag, tooth brush, cleansing products, clean underwear, socks and a change of clothes in case anything goes missing at the other end - and of course my passport.

If I'm going away for longer than a week I take a suitcase and check it in but I'm good at packing light and quick - years of modelling, travelling and living out of a suitcase has trained me well.

Americans love our shoes and us Brits love that we can always pick up a bargain when in the US.

On long haul flights I always drink loads and loads of water and eat light and healthy food.

Sex keeps me in shape. I don't diet, I eat what I like. I love Mars bars and I smoke and drink. But I love running off in the middle of the day to make love. It really burns up calories.

I enjoy popping in to World Duty Free at the airport and trying out perfumes - I can never resist a new scent.

I really only ever go on sun holidays so in my experience I prepare myself for the beach.

'Moby-Dick' really threw me. I read it when I was 14 and my best friends were books. It changed the way I looked at the world.

You could put all of Rev. Jeremiah Wright's angry sermons on to one loop. You could put that loop up on the big screen at Radio City Music Hall and let it play there 24 hours a day, seven days a week and Barack Obama will still emerge as the next president of the United States.

Things usually make sense in time and even bad decisions have their own kind of correctness.

I was going to say that writing is about disclosure and acting is about obfuscation, but that's such a little lie. Both of them are about obfuscation and masking oneself.

I don't think you can define how you acquire your imagination any more than you can define why one person has a sense of humor and another doesn't. But I certainly would lean to the side that says all those solitary hours of daydreaming were a kind of training for poetry.

The brain is probably the most mysterious subject there is.

I started racing BMX when I was five years old. I followed in my brother's footsteps, and I was a little tomboy. When I came into the sport, there wasn't many women. I raced with the boys; I looked up to the boys, and all my mentors were boys.

A turtleneck is about sophistication.

I had a spell no more striking than other people of my job description. I did all the things you weren't supposed to do. I had a motto: When in doubt, try it. I went out and committed experience.

When you advise any person you should be guided by the fear of God.

I got the nickname Spitfire for a reason - I burned inside to play volleyball.

Always the aim for me is making people feel like they are not alone. That's just the greatest feeling.

I definitely hope to attend UCLA in a year, and major in business.

Suppose Watergate had not been uncovered? I'd still be on the City Desk.

My whole family has been such a great support, and they're the ones who have kept me grounded and allowed me to be who I am today.

Stop running around, stop trying to return every email in your inbox immediately, stop cramming too much stuff into too few hours in the day. Sit down, shut up, and most importantly, be glad.

The growing evidence of climate change is forcing attention on carbon emissions and their reduction.

Of course I'm not a racist, but I'm certainly right wing, there's no question about that.

My dad had premature gray. I was always the one with the most energy, the one who continued to practice longer. I ran up and down the stairs of different stadiums. I didn't feel the need to cover up the fact that I was losing my hair or it was graying. When you're on a team, age is only a factor when you're talking in the locker room.

The idea of human rights as a fundamental principle can be seen to underlie throughout Islamic teachings.

The food I've liked in my time is American country cookin'.

Governments cannot assume or expect that the ECB will always facilitate their funding independently of the achievement of their fiscal and other policy objectives.

A good listener is not only popular everywhere but after a while he gets to know something.

Teachers have told us across the country that what's severely outdated is the teacher at the front of the classroom as the font of knowledge, because as we know, access to knowledge and information is now ubiquitous. So instead, teachers want to help students learn how to think so that they can be lifelong learners.
