On Work
Dynasty was the opportunity to take charge of my career rather than waiting around like a library book waiting to be loaned out.
I do it because I love acting, I love working, and whether it's radio, television, films, theater, I don't care as long as I can get out there and do it.
I loathe conflict, and I loathe not getting along well with people, so I always try very hard to be on the best terms with the people I work with.
If life throws you a lemon - make lemonade.
Show me a person who has never made a mistake and I'll show you somebody who has never achieved much.
I think it has something to do with being British. We don't take ourselves as seriously as some other countries do. I think a lot of people take themselves far too seriously; I find that a very tedious attitude.
The secret of having a personal life is not answering too many questions about it.
Age is just a number. It's totally irrelevant unless, of course, you happen to be a bottle of wine.
On Health
The problem with beauty is that it's like being born rich and getting poorer.
And I think of that again as I've written in several of my beauty books, a lot of health comes from the proper eating habits, which are something that - you know, I come from a generation that wasn't - didn't have a lot of food.
I mean, I'm a war baby, and we had rationing, and we didn't have sugar and sweets, which is very good for you in actual fact. Because when we had a piece of fruit, we'd gulp it down. It was just great.
Yes, I remember the bombings. Yes, I remember, because - yes, I remember being in air raid shelters. Even though I was evacuated because I was very young, I remember being in air raid shelters and the tremendous feeling of compatibility with everybody.
On Relationships
I've never yet met a man who could look after me. I don't need a husband. What I need is a wife.
No, that's what I think God does to you. He gives you some great gig in which you make a whole heap of money, and you're just on top of the world and on every magazine cover, but your personal life is miserable. And for most of that time, I have to say, my personal life was pretty miserable.
Loneliness is the universal problem of rich people.
The easiest way to convince my kids that they don't really need something is to get it for them.
