When you are rich, people try to take advantage of you.

There are so many misconceptions about me, and it gets frustrating no matter how thick skinned.

I'm the sort of person who takes a camera to dinner or a nightclub because I enjoy taking pictures of people. I tweet all my pictures, which is bad.

Im very nurturing.

Not every woman has time to go to a salon and have her hair blow-dried every day.

I was raised to want to work for a living. The idea of just sitting around or going shopping every day appalls me.

Id rather have a fake smile than a nasty stare.

People don't get my sense of humour.

We all need to slow down and go to acupuncture.

My sister would say I'm a feeder because I like cooking for people.

My dad is often horrified by what I've spent my money on.

Everyone has a past, and the downside to my life is that the past gets dragged up.

Before mobile phones, I used to call my parents from a phone box and reverse the charges.

I do believe in happy-ever-after.

You don't find happiness by being able to buy everything you want, whenever you want it.

I don't need anyone to look after me financially and, while it's hard to trust that a man loves you for the right reasons, you have to take a leap of faith.

I think I'm a good judge of character.

I do think, even though you are a public figure, I do think you should be entitled to your privacy, and I do think that there are things that go on in relationships and behind closed doors that are completely private.
