Scotland is the best place in the whole world.
Bald is the new black!
I don't miss my pin-up days. I'm far too old for that malarkey.
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.
The greatest thing you can give a child is confidence.
My parents' marriage was very rocky. They were always arguing. When they split up when I was in my 20s, my brother and I were both delighted because we knew they weren't good for each other.
I want to break down some of the stigma associated with mental illness.
I used to be pretty reckless. When I was a runner for a production company, I drove a massive 16 seater van. I was only 18. I mean I look young now, but then I looked about 12.
Usually I trundle about in trainers and baggy jeans, looking about as attractive as a potato.
Every day I do something that freaks me out.
I read everything and anything. I love books.
I read in the paper that I'd slashed my wrists. But I didn't.
Mmm, I love Yoda. I didn't like Jar Jar Binks though, he was all wrong.
The more I read about feeding times, sleep times and waking-up times, the more inadequate and miserable I felt.
But I love New York. I used to set my alarm clock when I was there, and get up at 4am and get a coffee, just because I could.
I didn't have any problem bonding with Honey, but I was plagued with insecurities about my ability to bring up my baby.
Exercise keeps me occupied, which is good for my mental health.
You can go to the doctor a million times if you're feeling down, and get nowhere, but if you go for a run it makes you feel really good.
I do tend to overdo everything.
I do mixed martial arts, mainly kickboxing.
I don't think I'm that intelligent. I think I'm semi-intelligent.
TV presenting isn't the hardest job in the world, and I've done all right financially out of it.
Love has no age.
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!
When I was bald, I went through a period where I seemed to do nothing except TV programmes about being bald.
I've always had an addictive nature.
I'm a mum, so my wardrobe consists of sweaters and jeans. As long as I don't leave the house forgetting my jeans, I count that as a fashion success.
I just don't think men fancy me.
I'm always weeping at something or other.
I'm so bored of all these girls who have written about 20 books by the time they're 25.
I have tried therapy a couple of times, but it hasn't worked.
I like routine.
When you have children, that's your main focus.
I don't believe in God.
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 know a lot of celebrity types go for Kabbalah and Scientology. But why pay 10 per cent of your earnings to someone when it's all common sense: treat others as you'd like to be treated yourself.
My mum brought me up to think that personal happiness is more important than your family.
Mum's a worrier, she looked after everybody apart from herself - I think it runs in the family.
The worst thing baldness causes is loneliness.Collection: Loneliness
My home is a place of warmth and love. No one should be denied a home.Collection: Home
It's horrible, horrible, horrible. It took a year and a half until I found out that I had post-natal depression.Collection: Years
