ELIZABETH HURLEY

I'm not that careful with cars.

I'd kill myself if I was as fat as Marilyn Monroe.

It's definitely part of my job description not to be too fat.

I don't know much about only children. I was the middle one of three, and if ever I was alone with mum and dad, it was a rare moment.

I'm very attracted to Indians.

Breast cancer is being detected at an earlier, more treatable stage these days, largely because women are taking more preventive measures, like self-exams and regular mammograms. And treatment is getting better too.

I am passionate about talking to women about their breast health.

I love moving. I love new houses. I'm always looking for somewhere else.

I love pilates and yoga but don't do them regularly.

Getting as much sleep as possible and following a healthy diet will stop you from feeling run-down if, like me, you're super-stressed.

I would seriously question whether anybody is really foolish enough to really say what they mean. Sometimes I think that civilization as we know it would kind of break down if we all were completely honest.

I've always been obsessed by beef jerky.

I certainly don't want a child of mine to be famous, or anyone I was very close to who isn't yet... It's the worst thing to be trapped in your house not be able to leave.

What I really, really want to do is pre-packaged meals. Fabulous versions that are delicious, healthy, not too expensive and very low in fat. So, that's my big dream, because there's a massive hole in the market for that.

Nothing irritates me more than chronic laziness in others. Mind you, it's only mental sloth I object to. Physical sloth can be heavenly.

I'm not going to launch a bikini business and then give up bikinis, am I?

I'm manic about my schedule.

I keep getting these extraordinary letteres, really weird ones from American sports stars - I've always thought you were one pretty lady and now that you're single I want to meet you for a drink.

I like people to match my energy.

I know so many people who have battled breast cancer and they didn't all make it.

I always wear make-up as I've never seen the point of looking less than your best.

I always found when I was reading an interview with an actor that I wasn't interested in their political opinions - I just wanted to know what they'd had for breakfast.

I didn't have a cup of coffee until I was 27.

I walk every day with my dogs and force myself to run a bit but I hate it.

In America uniformed cops eat in coffee shops, diners and restaurants and I always feel safer having them around.
