TAMARA ECCLESTONE

When you are rich, people try to take advantage of you.

I'm the sort of person who takes a camera to dinner or a nightclub because I enjoy taking pictures of people. I tweet all my pictures, which is bad.

My mum is Croatian, and obviously she's female and she's very emotional, very hot-blooded, very touchy-feely, whereas I think my dad's quite British.

Im very nurturing.

Before mobile phones, I used to call my parents from a phone box and reverse the charges.

When I was younger I wanted to be a gymnast, but they have to be quite short - I was tall.

At the end of the day, I'm not a bad person; I don't hurt anyone.

My dad is often horrified by what I've spent my money on.

I'm not religious, so theres no church on Sunday.

My dream job would be a lawyer. I can talk my way out of anything, and I love cross-examining people. I think I'd be a really good lawyer.

I don't think that coming from a privileged background makes you this monster who doesn't feel things.

I enjoy shopping and going on holiday.

I don't need anyone to look after me financially and, while it's hard to trust that a man loves you for the right reasons, you have to take a leap of faith.

There's a big difference between being privileged and being spoilt. My parents always said, 'Spoilt means ruined, and you're not ruined, just incredibly fortunate.'

When I'm upset, everyone knows about it, and it's a selfish trait because everyone suffers.

On my foot it says, 'The best is yet to come,' and that's there because I really believe it.

We all need to slow down and go to acupuncture.

I love looking at people who have achieved a lot - even Kim Kardashian, who has made a brand out of being a reality TV star; I applaud that.

My dogs are spoilt for sure. They are pampered pooches. But I love them so much! I guess all dogs need to be washed, but maybe blueberry facials aren't essential. It's quite fun, though. You want to give your children everything; I don't have children, so I want my dogs to have a good life.

I do believe in happy-ever-after.

My father started with nothing and is a self-made man. No matter what I do with my life, I can never match his accomplishments.

You don't find happiness by being able to buy everything you want, whenever you want it.

I think I'm a good judge of character.

Formula One has been the backdrop of my life.

My boyfriend thinks it's crazy that I wear a different bikini every day on holiday.
