Every woman should wear make-up. It takes years off. I'm wearing lots of false eyelashes today, and to me, lipstick is the best cosmetic that exists.

There are some brilliant designers but their clothes only really suit 6 foot 20-year-olds.

I have to say that those nine years were full of turmoil and drama and trauma to me, in actual fact.

I was a pin-up girl. I did it for 30 years and, quite frankly, it gets a bit boring.

I've spent years when I've not been in the limelight at all and I'm perfectly happy living my life without being swooped on by paparazzi.

And then I wrote my first autobiography when I - well, it was 23 years ago. And since then I've written about one book every two years.

I was thinking, who of the English actresses in the last 30 or 40 years have achieved as much as I have?

I say, 'Use it or lose it.' I have my own fitness regime, which is centred around stretching, free-weights and fast walking. I also have a trainer half of the year, as I spend my summers in the south of France where I swim a lot.
