Don't look at your legs and think: 'They're fat.' Think: 'These things carry me around all day, and I don't have arthritis. Oh, and I've got great ankles.'
I can't remember a time when I didn't love fashion. As a child, I was always particular about what I'd wear. I remember feeling most aggrieved that I had to put on a dull uniform to go to boarding school.
I went on Accutane, which is very strong. Your sebaceous glands dry up, you can't exercise, and you have very dry lips. But it was a miracle, and it worked.
At school, I was only allowed four sweets every Wednesday, so I've developed an addiction.
It's very exciting to feel like a different woman with a new identity.
I've a big bum and chunky calves. My husband says I've got elephantiasis of the legs.
Every morning, I have a drink of spinach, blueberry, celery, carrot and Gillian McKeith energy food with linseed.
If you are heading for 60, people will flirt with you; if you are heading for 70, they won't.
A Joan Crawford dress looks really good on an hourglass figure.
Many women are pear-shaped and tend to wear jeans that are too loose. They need to focus on what jeans will re-proportion their body.
To me, it is like a diabetic with insulin. If that diabetic stops taking insulin, they will die, and I believe that if I don't follow the 12-step programme, I will regress, and that could eventually be the death of me.
Careers, children and homemaking all come above preserving your appearance. Self-preservation is at the bottom of the scale.
I've been nine stone for 20 years. I always eat what I want; it's not an issue for me.
I think only a woman understands another woman's body.
I'm a mixture of untidy and anal.
I think I'm very focused and am quite a good multitasker, and I'm quite driven in knowing what my responsibilities are to my family and knowing what I've got to do to do that.
For me as an individual, it's important that I have a career as a role model for my children, that I earn my own money, and I spend it prudently and imprudently.
In America, there's a programme called 'The Swan.' They take 12 ugly people and call them 'ugly ducklings.' They spend six months and have everything done - plastic surgery, teeth, everything. And then they have this moment where their family is brought in, and they are revealed. It's scary.
The idea of what a feminist is has changed so much that there needs to be a new word for it.
I literally change on the shop floor. I just stand there in my knickers sometimes.
