“For me as an individual, it's important that I have a career as a role model for my children, that I earn my own money, and I spend it prudently and imprudently.”

“Diets are rubbish. I eat healthily, and often have a day when I stuff myself.”

“I'm having to learn to get the balance right, because if you want a full-time career, and you also want to be a mother who is there for your child, then you have to make sure that when you do spend time together, you're really there for them.”

“So many women buy these boxy, shapeless jackets. I always tell them to buy a jacket one size too small to get the right fit.”

“When I was 18, my mum gave me all the clothes she'd had made at the famous haute couture fashion label, House of Worth, in Paris. Of course, I eventually trashed them all.”

“I would never go out in track bottoms and a baggy T-shirt.”

“I'm a mixture of untidy and anal.”

“I would advise women not to be shy about admitting they've had Botox - it just shows you want to look your best, and there's nothing wrong with that.”

“In America, there's a programme called 'The Swan.' They take 12 ugly people and call them 'ugly ducklings.' They spend six months and have everything done - plastic surgery, teeth, everything. And then they have this moment where their family is brought in, and they are revealed. It's scary.”

“כשאת בתל אביב את רואה אופנה כי האנשים שם יותר אנוכיים.”

“הישראליות יודעות לבטא את הרגשות שלהן. הכול בחוץ תוך שלוש דקות. זה מאוד מתגמל. אתה מגיע למה שחשוב מאוד מהר.”

“צריך לזכור שכשמדברים עם נשים על בגדים – שזו שפה בינלאומית – אפשר להבין די בקלות איך הן מרגישות משפת הגוף שלהן, מהתנועות שלהן. אני לא מרגישה שהשפה מפריעה לי או עוצרת אותי בשום צורה.”

“I am very precise about what food I like. I'm very much a nursery-food person, and really hate chichi dishes.”

“I hate trends, but I love fashion.”

“The days of red carpet disasters are kind of over.”

“I judge when I need a top-up of Botox by looking in the mirror to see if I can move more than half my forehead.”

“Careers, children and homemaking all come above preserving your appearance. Self-preservation is at the bottom of the scale.”

“I want to feel I have the energy I will need as an older mother having a younger baby. It's really important that when I'm 51, and my daughter is 10, that I feel I can still run around and do things with her, and feel the energy of a slightly younger woman having their kids at school.”

“A Joan Crawford dress looks really good on an hourglass figure.”

“To me, a yummy mummy is a mum in her twenties, like Donna Air.”
