I have months where I go to the gym all the time, but sometimes I choose long walks instead.

You have to eat well, drink enough water and get enough sleep to look your best, and no fancy creams will substitute that.

I do like to keep my face moisturized even when I'm not wearing make-up, but I don't use too many products.

When I was modeling, I'd go for castings in a pair of really tight, leopard-print trousers, like jeans, but with a velvet finish - very Rod Stewart, but also very sexy.

While other people were dreaming of big cars and houses, I just wanted a huge dressing room.

I thought the Charleston would be a bit like the jive, but it isn't really.

There is this thing called catastrophic thinking - you start thinking that something catastrophic is going to happen. I get on a plane and I think it's going to crash, I just know it's going to crash, so you're petrified.

I love 'Holby.' I've been a fan for many years.

Kids will always find something to pick on, whether it's your color, your religion, the way you look, your size. You try and stand up for yourself, but it's really difficult when you've got 20 or 30 girls against you.

Before 'Holby,' I'd always avoided long-term roles.

When you have kids your priorities change. What you are looking for in a partner becomes more complex.

I wasn't born into money and there have been jobs in the past that I've not wanted to take on, but I've had to because of the money.

I want my daughter to grow up with memories of home-cooked meals, just as I did as one of seven children by Moroccan parents.

For modeling, you have to be photogenic, but to be a VJ, you actually project your whole personality.

I'm doing the film 'Don't Stop Dreaming' with Rishi Kapoor and Suniel Shetty. They're both so funny and fantastic!

I'd be scared of hitting 60 and looking like a granny when the child's just in their teens. I'm happy I had my daughter when I was in my 30s.

I like the idea of marriage, but I think I'm a nomad.

I'm not a marriage person. I've realized that it's not for me, the commitment and all that.

My mother's incredibly independent and she brought us up to be the same. She had five daughters and two sons and only allowed one mirror in the house because she didn't want us to be obsessed with our looks or weight.

I grew up with strong women around me. My grandmother came to this country not able to speak the language, on her own with seven kids. And she got through it.

I don't think anyone imagines themselves being a single parent. But I don't have a choice.

I want my daughter to grow up with some kind of ambition. I want her to work and to have that independence.

You want to be the best at your career, you want to be the best mum, a great wife and all of that. Most of the time, it's not possible. You have to compromise somewhere.

I just don't believe you can have it all and be great at everything, something has to give at some point. You've got to give yourself a break sometimes.
