I was always in trouble for chatting. My school reports all used to say, ‘Donna is a very bright girl, but she must stop talking in class.’ In the end, I made a career out of it. Donna Air Read Quote
Some people think I can only do fancy; I don’t know why. I’m a pretty easy person, really. Low maintenance. I get on with things, and I’m comfortable anywhere. Donna Air Read Quote
Sunday night is curry night. I always order a spinach paneer and a chicken tikka. There’s usually something good on TV like ‘Mr Selfridge’ or ‘Downton Abbey,’ so I’ll watch them before I have to think about blowdrying my hair and all the other boring stuff us girls have to do! Donna Air Read Quote
I don’t stress about things I can’t change, so if I have a day when I don’t look great, I don’t look in the mirror! I try to fit in one session of Bikram yoga and one run a week and, if I can, one swim, but that’s pushing it. Donna Air Read Quote
I’ve spent a lot on clothes. I’m not kidding when I say I could have bought several country homes with the money. I’ve also given a lot away over time. I had a lovely Yves Saint Laurent jacket that I’d only worn once or twice, but I’m one for spring cleaning rather than storing my clothes. Donna Air Read Quote
I am partial to a cartwheel or two. It’s the way to go; I’ll be doing them in my 50s, hopefully. Donna Air Read Quote
I really feel it when I can’t get to the gym for a few weeks. I like to run on a treadmill in the gym so I can keep track of what I’m doing. Donna Air Read Quote
Life experiences can, at times, be quite humbling, but you learn from them. But I like the changes in my life and what kind of person they’ve made me into. I’m very open, not as judgmental as I was in my twenties, and a lot more compassionate. Donna Air Read Quote
I’ve never deprived myself of anything. I’ve always thought if you need to lose weight, carry on eating what you like, just eat less. I don’t agree with doing without pasta or bread; it’s too harsh. Donna Air Read Quote
