And I used to write novels and little stories and compositions and I - but I put them away because I started acting when I was 17. So there wasn't much time.

There are very few designers in Hollywood today who know how to really flatter a woman's body, and Mark Zunino is at the top of my list.

I don't seek to be in the tabloids but I suppose sometimes I go out and I'm wearing something and they take a picture and it's in.

The clothes were a huge part of what made 'Dynasty' fun.

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.

I don't use e-mail I phone and fax. I think people who are hunched over their computer screens all day should get a life.

I used to not be confident. My father certainly didn't add to my confidence. When I was 17 or 18, I was voted the most beautiful girl in England by the association of press photographers. When they called Daddy for a comment, he said, 'I'm amazed. She's a nice looking girl, but nothing special.'

What is so weird is that young people who want to be 'celebrities' do not want to put in the hard work. They don't want to do the training, go to drama school, read Shakespeare, try different accents and study technique. They just want to be famous. It is not just in England it's the same in America and all over Europe.

I have a lot of male friends.

The body is like a car: the older you become the more care you have to take care of it - and you don't leave a Ferrari out in the sun.

I think health is another exceedingly important thing.

I mean, even my dressing room at the studio has candles and cushions and cashmere rugs and things.

Life is a predator: you have to eat it before it eats you.

I say, 'Use it or lose it.' I have my own fitness regime, which is centred around stretching, free-weights and fast walking. I also have a trainer half of the year, as I spend my summers in the south of France where I swim a lot.

I consider you as old as you look and feel. And in that case I feel - I feel I'm about 39, like Jack Benny.

And sometimes when I would get in the morning, when we'd go out - we'd see shrapnel and bits of stuff in the streets and bombed buildings, and - but I was evacuated a lot. Every time the blitz got heavy, my parents would take us off to the country.

I was thinking, who of the English actresses in the last 30 or 40 years have achieved as much as I have?

I've three children, three grandchildren, I work, I travel, and I'm very happily married. I'm very satisfied and happy with my life and there really isn't anything I want.

I don't believe in eating junk and I protect my face all the time from the sun, even in the winter with base and makeup.
