My mother opened a bank account for me when I made $60 on my first day of work as an extra. She's that kind of mother.

I was associated with a woman who I was involved with and had a relationship with. She asked for money. I felt as though I was being blackmailed or there was some sort of extortion.

When the bank asks me about my assets, I include my friendship with Regis Philbin.

In one week, I went from being a girl who owed a guy thousands of dollars - my manager Anthony was paying for my outfits, paying for my food; I was sleeping in his parents' basement - to taking meetings with every major label in America. The next morning, I had a record deal and wrote him a cheque to pay back all that money.

I've actually been given a great gift. When I walk into an audition with a director, I'm carrying no baggage. They haven't seen me in anything, even though I've done nine films.

My mum put herself in £50,000 of debt to service my sporting career. She did everything for me to pursue my dream.

I didn't know who she was, but I knew she was hungry, so I started handing out $100 bills and called the office and told them to bring me a bunch more. Then I had my cousin's store deliver a bunch of smoked ham and turkeys. I mean, these people are hungry and living under a bridge.

I got a wife who likes expensive things, so she takes all the cash.

I told the Inland Revenue I didn't owe them a penny because I lived near the seaside.
