“I've become less tolerant as I've got older, but I put that down to realising there are people out there who actually enjoy being destructive, and that those people will never change.”
“There's something about me, even without make-up. Men always made a bee-line for me.”
“The only old man I am interested in is one who is worth at least £300million and is 103. Obviously you don't want them to hang around too long, you want to be able to spend his money.”
“I don't think I'm better than anyone else.”
“I believe that narcissistic personality disorder is a middle- and upper-class disease because you have to have the means to indulge it; you need money and power. Narcissists create havoc around them. You can't get away with that doing a menial job.”
“I'm sorry if you're partly black you're partly black. You're not fully black.”
“In my life, being true to myself certainly hasn't made things easier. You could never accuse me of taking the path of least resistance.”

“It's so nice to see that one's opinion of humanity is accurately gauged.”

“I like having fun, but the most important thing is to be as good a person as you can be.”
“Tony Hadley is a big Conservative. He is desperate to become a Lord. He's jealous of me.”
“When I was a child I loved my dolls and I was practically born with a needle in my hand. I really had an aptitude for sewing - my mother taught me. I even learned to embroider when I was very young and I made the most fantastic dresses for my dolls. So I thought I could be a designer.”
“When I was young and, supposedly so beautiful, I had a tsunami of men crashing in on me and some really, really nice guys wanted to marry me. But I only ever wanted to marry for love. And I did. And it worked... for the first 20 minutes.”
“I like nice people, I don't like nasty people, but I like somebody that's not a pushover.”
