What I know is that my upbringing was always the man was the head of the family. It's a European tradition. We always look up to the man. But this is old times. Now what I believe is that I'm definitely equal.

I'm a single parent, a working mother, an executive, and an author. My greatest accomplishment will be to raise three wonderful children.

I have a very active social life. It may look glamorous, and it is, but it also takes an enormous amount of time.

In each of my homes, I have a leopard room. I don't know why, but I do. It's like my lounge next to the dressing rooms.

I believe that two people can meet and enrich each other's lives. I'd say that about my parents. But I think it is harder and harder to commit to only one person in a lifetime.

There are three things in life I really don't like: Rice pudding. Social climbers - you know, hang-ons! And the photo shoot!

I'm young at heart and dress accordingly.

I make money because I have to pay for everything apart from my school fees. My mother even makes me pay my own telephone bill.

From the age of 6, when I won my first race in skiing, I was on the national ski teams, really until Olympics in '72, so I always had a lot of discipline and commitment to achieve as much as I could in good way. Competitiveness doesn't stop when you stop skiing.

Sadly, Princess Diana and I were just about the first divorced women to come under the global press's microscope. But I have a feeling it's a full and active club now.
