I have a normal life and I have this glamorous life, but to me it’s two different things.

Sometimes people can only imagine that I live a glamorous life 24/7, which I don’t. I just like the most natural and simple things. That’s what makes me happy.

Like all young reporters – brilliant or hopelessly incompetent – I dreamed of the glamorous life of the foreign correspondent: prowling Vienna in a Burberry trench coat, speaking a dozen languages to dangerous women, narrowly escaping Sardinian bandits – the usual stuff that newspaper dreams are made of.

Youths are passed through schools that don’t teach, then forced to search for jobs that don’t exist and finally left stranded in the street to stare at the glamorous lives advertised around them.

Girls think that being glamorous means making mistakes and being irresponsible. And that’s just not true.

I don’t think I could live without hair, makeup and styling.

I believe in a glamorous life, and I live a glamorous life.

She wants to lead the glamorous life, but without love, it ain’t much.

I guess I’ve always lived the glamorous life of a star. It ‘s nothing new – I used to spend down to the last dime.

I’ve never liked the idea of just having an office in a college somewhere and teaching classes and going to the library and doing research all day. I’ve never wanted that. The glamorous life is the life that appeals to me.

I was supposedly living this glamorous life, but I was crippled by the idea of growing old and where do I go next? The whole age thing—in our industry, it’s everything.

A glamorous life is quite different to a life of luxury. I don’t need luxury. For years, I was practically broke but I was still very vain and glamorous. And I still am.

Before, models had that rock star life and it was all about going to the parties and having that glamorous life, and I think these days, models are more like businesswomen and the whole industry takes it really serious.

I don’t think I could live without hair, makeup and styling, let alone be the performer I am. I am a glamour girl through and through. I believe in the glamorous life and I live one.

It wasn’t glamorous in my day. In the regions, reporters were seen as such low life that they didn’t merit their name in the Radio Times. Now people are interested in being famous. I never gave it a thought.

People who have stuck to their vision and mission no matter what. They inspire me. The people who wake up to non-glamorous lives to continue pushing to do what God has called them to do.

The idea of being a foreign correspondent and wandering the world and witnessing great events, having adventures and covering the activities of world leaders, appealed to me greatly. It was a very glamorous life in those days.
