I don't think that coming from a privileged background makes you this monster who doesn't feel things.
— Tamara Ecclestone
When I was younger I wanted to be a gymnast, but they have to be quite short - I was tall.
My dream job would be a lawyer. I can talk my way out of anything, and I love cross-examining people. I think I'd be a really good lawyer.
I want people to see that I'm a real person, I overreact, I cry, I'm emotional. If I come across as perfect and in control, that wouldn't be who I really am.
My hair is naturally really thin and dead straight, with no movement.
When I'm upset, everyone knows about it, and it's a selfish trait because everyone suffers.
There's a big difference between being privileged and being spoilt. My parents always said, 'Spoilt means ruined, and you're not ruined, just incredibly fortunate.'
My parents are opposites who balance each other out.
I do think, even though you are a public figure, I do think you should be entitled to your privacy, and I do think that there are things that go on in relationships and behind closed doors that are completely private.
You don't find happiness by being able to buy everything you want, whenever you want it.
Everyone has a past, and the downside to my life is that the past gets dragged up.
My sister would say I'm a feeder because I like cooking for people.
Id rather have a fake smile than a nasty stare.
My father started with nothing and is a self-made man. No matter what I do with my life, I can never match his accomplishments.
On my foot it says, 'The best is yet to come,' and that's there because I really believe it.
Without trust, you have nothing: trust is so important to me.
We all need to slow down and go to acupuncture.
My dogs are spoilt for sure. They are pampered pooches. But I love them so much! I guess all dogs need to be washed, but maybe blueberry facials aren't essential. It's quite fun, though. You want to give your children everything; I don't have children, so I want my dogs to have a good life.
My boyfriend thinks it's crazy that I wear a different bikini every day on holiday.
I know I'm never going to be as successful as my dad, but I get bored doing nothing. I couldn't go from vacation to vacation and have no motivation.
Some people collect vintage cars, I collect Birkins. The leather ones are £20,000.
I enjoy shopping and going on holiday.
I understood from an early age what being competitive means.
I think I'm a good judge of character.
I do believe in happy-ever-after.
My dad is often horrified by what I've spent my money on.
At the end of the day, I'm not a bad person; I don't hurt anyone.
When you are rich, people try to take advantage of you.
Not every woman has time to go to a salon and have her hair blow-dried every day.
I'm not religious, so theres no church on Sunday.
I love looking at people who have achieved a lot - even Kim Kardashian, who has made a brand out of being a reality TV star; I applaud that.
If I have 1% of my dad's brain, I'll be happy. He's so quick.
My mum is Croatian, and obviously she's female and she's very emotional, very hot-blooded, very touchy-feely, whereas I think my dad's quite British.
As a woman, I believe you have to embrace your body, and feel beautiful both inside and out.
There are so many misconceptions about me, and it gets frustrating no matter how thick skinned.
I'm aware people will think I've had an easy way into a dream career. My view is, if anyone has opportunities, they'll take them. My surname opens doors, but those doors will slam firmly if I'm no good.
Formula One has been the backdrop of my life.
I don't need anyone to look after me financially and, while it's hard to trust that a man loves you for the right reasons, you have to take a leap of faith.
Before mobile phones, I used to call my parents from a phone box and reverse the charges.
I'm the sort of person who takes a camera to dinner or a nightclub because I enjoy taking pictures of people. I tweet all my pictures, which is bad.
People don't get my sense of humour.
I was raised to want to work for a living. The idea of just sitting around or going shopping every day appalls me.
Im very nurturing.
