Bonnie Tyler

I was born Gaynor Hopkins, one of seven children. My mum, Elsie, and dad, Glyndwr, always said they had seven children, although my sister Paulene was stillborn.

Thank God for Botox.

I'm told sometimes I look like Goldie Hawn, and I get chuffed about that.

It's good to like yourself, and that only comes from hard work, from doing. But vanity is dangerous; it can trip you badly.

I studied international relations and economics at the University of Virginia. I paid my way by working as a bartender in the summer and at three part-time jobs during the year.

I've always been very determined, ever since I was a little girl, to make my way.
