For every two minutes of glamour there are eight hours of hard work.

Something about glamour interested me. All my schoolbooks had drawings of women on terraces with a cocktail and a cigarette.

My grandfather Frank Lloyd Wright wore a red sash on his wedding night. That is glamour!

But by the time I was 40 everything was winding down. It started after the war. On the plus side there was more more products and technology. But for me the nightlife was winding down the glamour the fun.

There is the glamour side of it which allows you to meet great variety of people with whom you simply can have a good time but there's also the sad side of it that drags you into a superficial and artificial world.

Your aim will be knowledge and wisdom not the reflected glamour of fame.

It's not like I'm this glamour diva who hands everything over and I just sit on my throne at home.

Glamour is about feeling good in your own skin.

I know people will think it's funny because I've done glamour modelling in the past but I felt embarrassed about my body and just wanted to cover it up.

It's my first presenting role so I'll be nervous but it's going to be great fun. I can't wait to sample the food and meet the celebrities. Hopefully I can inject some of my own glamour.

It is great to add some glamour to the food industry like television shows have done for the food world and inspiring people to work in the industry. The flip side of that is unfortunately people think that after they get their qualifications they get their invitation to compete on 'Top Chef.'

I never did quite fit the glamour mode. It is life with my husband and family that is my high now.

The true face of smoking is disease death and horror - not the glamour and sophistication the pushers in the tobacco industry try to portray.

If I took over the 'Glamour' offices for a day I would put Joe Pesci on the cover. I would say 'We've got to change all these magazines a little bit. We have to bring out a different version of what is like cool. You know what's winning. Joe Pesci Burt Reynolds.'

We were probably the last people in the country to get a VCR and we didn't have cable. There wasn't any admiration of glamour no 'I want to look like them or have that lifestyle' because everyone in my town had the same lifestyle. So I didn't think 'Ooh a movie star's birthday!' I just thought 'What?'

I love glamour and artificial beauty. I love the idea of artifice and dressing up and makeup and hair.

Beauty and femininity are ageless and can't be contrived and glamour although the manufacturers won't like this cannot be manufactured. Not real glamour it's based on femininity.

Like charity I believe glamour should begin at home.

Big dress cocktails party - I love that. It is my work but my work allow me to have glamour to wear beautiful and amazing dresses to go to big ceremonies.

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.

Growing up on stage I was introduced to makeup at a young age and I will never forget the first time I tried on a L'Oreal Paris iconic lipstick - it was instant glamour and I've been hooked ever since.
