When I first thought of the idea for 'Sweet Valley High ' I loved the idea of high school as microcosm of the real world. And what I really liked was how it moved things on from 'Sleeping Beauty'-esque romance novels where the girl had to wait for the hero. This would be girl-driven very different I decided - and indeed it is.

I think that the biggest beauty essential is as simple as a good full night's sleep.

As a girl you're supposed to love Sleeping Beauty. I mean who wants to love Sleeping Beauty when you can be Aladdin?

I shall give you hunger and pain and sleepless nights. Also beauty and satisfactions known to few and glimpses of the heavenly life. None of these you shall have continually and of their coming and going you shall not be foretold.

I like to embrace natural beauty. I try to get at least 8 hours of sleep drinking a lot of water and exercising.

Not to discriminate every moment some passionate attitude in those about us and in the very brilliancy of their gifts some tragic dividing on their ways is on this short day of frost and sun to sleep before evening.

But my attitude about it is I have miles to go before I sleep.

I'd like to introduce someone who has just come into my life. I've admired him for 35 years. He's someone who represents integrity honesty art and on top of that stuff I'm actually sleeping with him.

Sleeping is no mean art: for its sake one must stay awake all day.

Marriage is an alliance entered into by a man who can't sleep with the window shut and a woman who can't sleep with the window open.
