Quotes from Louise Nurding

I'm not somebody who likes to show off my cleavage, and I don't dress up for the papers.

Being in the pop group Eternal gave me the most wonderful opportunity to travel the world, and I have visited some spectacular countries.

The gold iridescent 'Naked' outfit is perhaps not my finest moment.

I can play the piano. I started off with lessons, and then, as we always had a piano in the house, I would play around and became quite good.

By the way, you won't put that thing in about me wanting to have sex on a football pitch, will you?

I think we make a common mistake of all wanting to look younger, and I think there is nothing more attractive, charming and endearing than when you meet a woman and you think she looks amazing for her age rather than 20 years younger because of this, that and everything else.

My wardrobe staple is simple shirt dresses. They never date, and you can put them with a heel or a flat sandal.

I've always loved Helena Christensen's style because she looks casual and comfortable, while being chic and cool.

For a performer, passion is far more important than technical skills. If a dancer's leg isn't at a perfect angle, I can see past that, but if someone's dead in the face, it's really boring.

I absolutely love reading; it is a fantastic way of unwinding.

There are very few people I would trust to look after my children.

I know people who've had a nose job, and they've walked out feeling a million dollars, and their confidence is tenfold. Good on them! Natural beauty comes in all different shapes and sizes, but if you think surgery would right something you have a problem with, then why shouldn't you do it?

The problem with being in the public eye for a long time is there are 20 years worth of looks to come back and haunt you!
