Mum's a worrier, she looked after everybody apart from herself - I think it runs in the family.

My mother and I were very close and even when I left home and came to London I would ring her every day. She was very proud of me and loved my celebrity. She would often come to shoots and TV shows with me.

My mum brought me up to think that personal happiness is more important than your family.

The greatest thing you can give a child is confidence.

I have a problem with cleaning. It's my release. I get up at 6 A.M. and clean and hoover and mop everything. Then I feel better.

I don't believe in God.

When you have children, that's your main focus.

I like routine.

I have tried therapy a couple of times, but it hasn't worked.

I'm so bored of all these girls who have written about 20 books by the time they're 25.

I'm always weeping at something or other.

I want to break down some of the stigma associated with mental illness.

I just don't think men fancy me.

I try to cope with everything through humor.

I've always had an addictive nature.

When I was bald, I went through a period where I seemed to do nothing except TV programmes about being bald.

What's so brave about being bald? I've not fought for my country or found the cure for cancer - I've just gone out without my hat on!

Scotland is the best place in the whole world.

Love has no age.

TV presenting isn't the hardest job in the world, and I've done all right financially out of it.
