"Age is just a number. It's totally irrelevant unless, of course, you happen to be a bottle of wine."

"I don't know why people are so obsessed with age anyway. I mean, 90 is the new 70 70 is the new 50 and 50 is the new 40 so the whole act-your-age thing? Only up to a point."

"I don't look my age, I don't feel my age and I don't act my age. To me age is just a number."

"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 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."
