Cheating is never to do with how attractive you are.

When you've been touched by sadness and grief, it makes you vulnerable. And because I am vulnerable, I try to be positive. And when I say 'try,' I really do mean try, because it's an effort.

I don't see myself as the next Carmen Dell'Orefice. I'd rather be fat and happy, sitting on a beach in Hawaii eating pizza.

I don't particularly like children. That sounds awful, but I have nothing to say to them.

- Marie Helvin

I don't have children, and I'm not in a relationship, so I have the time to devote to myself.

- Marie Helvin

I don't have any children, but I can leave my land to an animal sanctuary. That is what I dream about, not bags, not shoes.

- Marie Helvin

I can't stand small babies. I would rather give birth to a kitten or a colt... a little pony.

I am a vegetarian. I don't want to have anything injected into me that I can't eat. I am a real health nut. I look after myself well.

- Marie Helvin

I always wear the same thing: a tight white shirt - I have about 50 - and tight black trousers.

Fresh seafood reminds me of Hawaii and eating raw ahi fish on the beach with a little soy sauce - instant sashimi.

For modern fashion designers, bones are beautiful. I don't know why, but so many people are obsessed with the skeletal look.

- Marie Helvin

I definitely think men prefer women more undone and natural than butch and masculine. They prefer a fresher, sexier, more feminine look.

But I'd made up my mind early on in life that I never wanted to be a mother.

As the years go by, you get to know yourself better and learn what works for you.

Although I eat healthily, I do enjoy a greasy fry-up, but usually only once a year. I've also got a big Kit-Kat addiction and buy them in bulk.

A secret control slip is a wonderful invention. It sculpts and lifts the bum and smooths the hips.

- Marie Helvin

A lot of women lose definition around their waist as they get older, which can mean their bottom half can look shapeless.

- Marie Helvin

I don't do a lot of looking back; I tend to look ahead.

- Marie Helvin

I love to lounge, and I particularly love to eat outdoors. It's a throwback to my childhood in Hawaii. I have memories of coming out of the sea and eating corn chips with a strawberry vanilla slush.

- Marie Helvin

Whilst I may look good, I do find it hard to find the right man.
