"There isn't anything I don't eat, although I'm not too keen on creepy crawly things. Other than that..." — Cherie Lunghi

I've never felt the need to be defined by a man.

I really enjoyed staying at an encampment at the top of a hill in the Samburu Reserve in Kenya. You reach it on a small plane; there is no electricity, no city noises and you sleep and shower under the Milky Way, with moths fluttering around a kerosene lamp, knowing that there are elephants and lions roaming free in the valley.

War is good for absolutely nothing, because no matter how far and wide apart we may live, we're all the same under the skin. We all want to live, laugh and love.

Whether it's a good thing or a bad thing, the higher your profile, the more castable you are in TV dramas.
