I was brought up very conservatively. My father was positively Victorian - I wasn't even allowed to wear my hair down.

Think of your pension and start saving. Like my father, I have been a spendthrift, and I regret that.

I was so beautiful but I didn't realise it for years. I saw pictures of myself and even I was stunned.

I never really learned the value of money. My father didn't spoil me, but I think my grandparents did.

I'm very organised these days, and I keep my life in my handbag, like most women.

I used to smoke cigarettes, ten a day, but gave up when I was 28. Now my vice is several cups of coffee a day, which isn't great if you're prone to weak bones as I am, as caffeine can leach calcium.
