" I think, for a shy person - and I was very shy until my mid-20s - having been to an all-girls' school is not brilliant on the boyfriend front later.

And I'm always, simply, 'No.' I don't want to do diets, don't want to. I just can't do it. "

" I loved school. Not sure how much I focused on the education; just had fun and played lacrosse for seven years.
