As long as you try your best, that is all that matters. You don't have to be the fastest runner or top of the class.
I do look after everyone around me; that's just who I am. I am a real mother hen.
I'm lucky that I have a supportive partner who loves me when I'm bigger as well as slim.
I got the best of Rod. And I am fully aware that, even though I love listening to his stories of the crazy days, no relationship could really last then. I sometimes wish I could go back in time to the 1970s or 1980s, sit at a bar, and observe him, but I'm glad our time came when it did.
I used to be very into fitness and would happily pose for photos in my bikini. Now I look at those and think, 'Where did that body go?' But that was before children.
I was bullied from the age of 11 onwards. I was always much bigger than the other kids. I spoke nicely, didn't swear, and I refused to try to fit in and be like everyone else. People assumed I thought I was above everyone else.
I do love fish, and I thought it was healthy without understanding the high mercury levels that fish like tuna, swordfish and halibut can contain.
Rod and I are naturally in love, and that is what binds us together. But to keep the spark alive in your relationship, you really have to work at it.
There's certainly never a dull moment in the Stewart clan.
Rod's always been a keen sportsman, so he didn't live as excessive a life as some musicians.
There's less pressure to look good as you get older.
If I had a partner who asked when I was going to the gym or commented that I was eating too much or asked if I really needed an extra potato, that would make me feel awful. It would be terrible.
I modelled in my 20s, and it was an obsessive time. I was under pressure to look a certain way.
I really do believe that being naturally beautiful is what is inside and what shines through.
I think there's always interest in how the other half live - I see myself as a down-to-earth Essex mum who just happens to be living this very glamorous life in Beverly Hills.
I'm a pretty organised traveller.
The truth is I'm a very traditional woman, and Rod - despite everything people may think - is a very traditional man. It's true he absolutely loves glamour, and he hasn't got a conventional job, but performing aside, he's happiest at home with his kids around him or lounging in front of the fire watching a war documentary like 'D-Day Remembered.'
Rod always dresses for dinner - even if I just want to wear tracksuit bottoms, he dresses up.
You always have to make sure your husband knows he isn't going to be replaced.
As parents, it is our responsibility to show by example and educate our children on the importance of caring for our planet.
