As a dancer, I've always checked my body constantly: 'Am I having a good day, or am I having a fat day?' I am probably more critical of myself than anyone else. I am very tiny - 5'1 and a half inches - so there's nowhere for weight to hide.

It's difficult to be a mother and maintain a career as a performer - but then it's difficult in any industry.

The pushy showbiz kid thing was always the performance, not the person. I'm very solitary. I don't like socialising.

I always think of myself as an 18-year-old beginning my career, all the time.

When I was a youngster, my dream was to play in the first team. I was constantly thinking, ‘Will I make a career in football? Am I going to have to go out and get a job?'"

I was in the company of movie stars, important directors, and powerful business tycoons. I felt like Alice tumbling down the rabbit hole.

I had no luck when I started out as a model. I keep telling people that it's the only career in the world that you can't choose for yourself - you have to be chosen.
