My brother was an avid Stoke City fan and a good footballer. We shared a room, growing up, and the walls were covered with 1970s Stoke players, like Peter Shilton, Gordon Banks, and Jimmy Greenhoff.

I'm attracted to people who are older rather than younger, and all ages have their potential and limitations.

We wanted to come to London because it's the hardest place to make it.

My younger brother was a big Stoke fan, and I was sucked into it. I was kind of waking up every morning and looking at Gordon Banks' face! We had all these small football cards - literally hundreds of them - and swapping them was the currency back then.

For me, fitness is a lifetime commitment; I don't remember ever being out of shape.

My kids, my health and my job are all equally important.

However, many skilled medical volunteers are turned away because community health centers cannot afford to cover their additional medical liability insurance.

The day in 2004 when the radiologist told me I had invasive cancer, I walked down the hospital corridor looking for a phone to call my husband, and I could almost see the fear coming toward me like a big, black shadow.
