A huge part of youth is how you behave: I'm always looking for fun and anything that makes me feel alive - that in itself keeps me feeling young.

When I was younger, I used to look at movie stars with pencil-thin noses and think about a nose job. I've got a grown-up baby nose; it's not chiseled and structured. Then I saw how beautiful Audrey Tatou was in 'Amelie' and thought, 'She's got a nose like mine, and if she can have a baby nose, so can I.'

I've grown up in the public eye, and every decision I've made has always been so public and often inaccurately reported.

I've been told if you're an actress you can't sing, if you're a dancer you can't act, you can't do theatre and be respected if you've done a TV soap, you can't have a No. 1 record. All these different things they've told me I can't do, but I wanted to do them, so I've done them.

I'm a Taurean, so I'm very passionate and determined and materialistic. Down the years, I've spent a lot of money and saved a bit of money and had a lot of fun.

There are times when I'm so bored with being healthy and organic that I crave sugar and additives.

Any actress will tell you - it's really hard. If you're not an A-list Hollywood movie star, if you're in the middle, there are people who assume you wouldn't do certain things without even asking you, when actually you probably would. And there are people who always think you are busy doing something else.

Adele is great because she promotes the idea of being happy as you are.

I don't want to fly the flag for being unhealthy and overweight, but I don't want to fly the flag for being too thin, either.

I believe love isn't simple, and it's one of the things that makes people break all the rules.

I think you have to be careful not to do too much as yourself. Otherwise you stop getting the acting roles, and at the end of the day that's what I love.

I never rule anything out. I'm an entertainer. Be it presenting, singing, acting, I just do things I love.
