This idea that being youthful is the only thing that's beautiful or attractive simply isn't true.

I want women, especially young women, to create a world where your success is not based on being young.

For the moment I prefer to be a beautiful woman of my age than try desperately to look 30.

I had a great time in my youth and I still feel youthful. I've no desire to look as though I'm in my 20s.

Surely being a Professional Beauty - let alone an ageing one - is one of the most insecure and doomed careers imaginable.

Growing old gracefully used to begin at about 35, but today women prefer to 'stay young gratefully' with thanks to designers, beauticians and plastic surgeons.

I'll declare my own interest right here at the start and admit that, like the vast majority of people, I find youthful looks appealing.

In your 20s you can be pretty, but you don't accomplish real beauty until you find wisdom and depth.

Younger women have no problem in reconciling beauty with ambitions as a professional woman.

We all want to look younger, become stronger and healthier and live longer.
