“When I was a model at 15, I was eating one red pepper a day, and if I had a big day of castings, I would survive off a bag of Haribo, which gave me the 500 calories a day that would keep me alive. I was congratulated daily on my appearance - the more vertebrae upon my back you could count, the better my auditions went.”

“I knew it was right to make time for myself to have adventures and fulfil dreams.”

“I've got quite an old-fashioned figure. Back in the Sixties, girls had boobs, a tummy and wide hips, and bigger thighs as well. I think that's sexy - to me, that's what a woman looks like. I've got love handles - sometimes they're passion handles! I'm built for comfort, not for speed, and I like that about myself.”

“Initially I struggled to find gluten-free products, but things have gradually improved, and now retailers like Holland & Barrett - with their new Free From range - are starting to cater for celiacs.”

“I suffered a lot of setbacks when I started; I didn't have any work experience and no real confidence to go after the career that I knew in the back of my mind I really wanted. It affected my confidence as knock-back after knock-back left me feeling like I might never succeed.”

“I always wanted to work. But I still probably would have finished school if my father was alive. I never wanted to let him down.”

“The only one who is alive today and still being talked about is Pierre Cardin.”

“I've always loved polka dots. Ah, oui. It is a joyful shape, the polka dot. It is alive.”

“It's nice to have a crush on someone. It feels like you're alive, you know?”

“Those who say that life is worth living at any cost have already written an epitaph of infamy, for there is no cause and no person that they will not betray to stay alive.”

“I am the wisest man alive, for I know one thing, and that is that I know nothing.”
