Sports Calendar

Hot date: what do you wear?
High heels, sexy dress, sexy jewellery. I just have that evil look. Inside I’m Linda Evans but I always end up looking like Joan Collins.

What do you wear to bed?
Nothing.

What is your greatest extravagance?
My bed linen, Vasai linen. It’s like sleeping on a cloud.

Where do you flex your credit card?
My payroll.

What quality do you most admire in a person?
Honesty, when someone is willing to take responsibility and admit that they have screwed up. And loyalty — almost everyone I cared about betrayed me.

Can you always judge a book by its cover?
Hey, looks are always a head start.

The most beautiful woman?
Queen Noor. She is a modern woman who went to Harvard and now has to be a role model for Muslim women. I would hate to be in her shoes, but I admire her and Hillary Clinton — she will be America’s first female president.

Your guilty pleasures?
Being alone. Since prison, something happened to me. You see what people will do for money, and let’s just say that I like to spend time alone.

The best advice you have ever been given?
Keep your mouth shut.

What are you most and least proud of?
I am most proud of Pandering; least proud of getting caught.

What is the value of experience versus youth? Hindsight is always 20/20.

If you could spend one evening with anyone in the world, who would it be and what would you do?
I’d be in the grips of passion with Albert Einstein.

What would you change about yourself?
Everything, especially my brain. Ignorance is bliss.

How good-looking are you on a scale of one to ten?
0 (I always eat humble pie).
