I don't have children, and I'm not in a relationship, so I have the time to devote to myself.

When you get older, your skin tone changes; your hair probably changes colour, whether you dye it or not, and you just can't wear the colours you used to like anymore.

There are lots of things I won't eat but would like to, such as croissants or ice cream - if I started, I'd scoff the whole tub.

Even in the early Eighties, when I was one of the most successful models in Britain, I didn't really have a voice. Time after time, when I should have spoken up, I simply walked away.

When I see images of a girl who is obviously far too thin, I am just as shocked as anyone else.

I'm not a pretty-boy kind of a girl; the Brad Pitts don't do anything for me.

I am a vegetarian. I don't want to have anything injected into me that I can't eat. I am a real health nut. I look after myself well.

Myself and my two younger sisters and brother were paid for any chores, whether it was washing pop's car, sweeping the lawn or picking mangoes.

I wouldn't mind being in a relationship, but there's no reason to marry.

When I began modelling in my late teens, I started to earn a lot of money very, very quickly, but I'd never been shown how to manage it properly.

Not having alcohol has kept the weight off around my waist; my skin feels so much better, and I am sleeping really well.

Surgery is not going to improve your skin - all it's going to do is make you look tighter, like Joan Rivers!

The two times I have cut my hair shorter, I've ended up out of work - so short hair is not an option.

Whilst I may look good, I do find it hard to find the right man.

Smiling makes you and others feel better, and it makes you look younger.

Monogamy is not something that's important to me. I don't think it defines love.

If you believe, as I do believe, in reincarnation, they say that every time you come back, it's because you have to finish something. I've a funny feeling that my thing in this life is to have one relationship after another.

I loved Le Taha'a private resort in Tahiti. It's accessible only by private boat or helicopter, and it sits on a tiny strip of land just big enough for one hotel. It's extraordinary and faces the Vanilla Island where Tahitians grow vanilla.
