'My sister, Debbie, never started, but it's a very difficult thing to give up. I did stop when I was pregnant, and the drink, but I went to a Street hen night six weeks after the birth and started again. I only really smoke when I'm socialising like this. I never smoke in the house or around the children and can go days without having a cigarette at home. But I do want to give packing it in another crack'", Birmingham Evening Mail (UK), Aug. 18, '01 |

| • | "I feel like a right hypocrite because I caught my fifteen-year-old son smoking recently and I was very disappointed. However, I'm afraid it's 'Do as I say' not 'Do as I do' in the family home. I always love a cigarette before going down the red carpet at a showbiz do. It can be quite daunting, wondering why people are waving, shouting your name and asking for autographs. One minute it seems I'm just a normal stay-at-home mum sorting out my youngest son's dinner or checking the eldest has done his homework. Next I'm being feted and treated like royalty. No matter how many times I go to a showbiz bash I don't think I'll ever get used to the adulation. Once, at a Children in Crisis charity event, I agreed to model a dress by designer Isabell Kristlansen, who was hosting the evening. I got to the venue, the exclusive Cafe Royal in London, and came face to face with the other models. An intimidating collection of gorgeous, leggy models with minuscule hips and tiny waists. One of them was Jerry Hall. Petrified doesn't come into it, and to make matters worse I was to model a £4,000 dress. No way would I have risked smoking in a gown like that. Everyone was so kind and I had a great time. But once the show was over that dress came off immediately and I went straight for a fag. Boy, did it taste good. Like everything, when you can't have it, the more you want it", "The Joy of Smoking " by Sue Carroll and Sue Brealey, '05 |
