Tamara Ecclestone quotes:

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.

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.

Before mobile phones, I used to call my parents from a phone box and reverse the charges.

Not every woman has time to go to a salon and have her hair blow-dried every day.

Id rather have a fake smile than a nasty stare.

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.'

As a woman, I believe you have to embrace your body, and feel beautiful both inside and out.

Formula One has been the backdrop of my life.

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 father started with nothing and is a self-made man. No matter what I do with my life, I can never match his accomplishments.

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.

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.

I enjoy shopping and going on holiday.

Without trust, you have nothing: trust is so important to me.

You don't find happiness by being able to buy everything you want, whenever you want it.

I think I'm a good judge of character.

I'm not religious, so theres no church on Sunday.

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 do believe in happy-ever-after.

We all need to slow down and go to acupuncture.

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.

There are so many misconceptions about me, and it gets frustrating no matter how thick skinned.

On my foot it says, 'The best is yet to come,' and that's there because I really believe it.

When you are rich, people try to take advantage of you.

At the end of the day, I'm not a bad person; I don't hurt anyone.

My hair is naturally really thin and dead straight, with no movement.

My parents are opposites who balance each other out.

My boyfriend thinks it's crazy that I wear a different bikini every day on holiday.

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."

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 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.

I understood from an early age what being competitive means.

My sister would say I'm a feeder because I like cooking for people.

I was raised to want to work for a living. The idea of just sitting around or going shopping every day appalls me.

Courage is ignoring your fear.

Everyone has a past, and the downside to my life is that the past gets dragged up.

I don't stay anywhere. I visit. I observe. I leave. I don't ever stay.

I don't think that coming from a privileged background makes you this monster who doesn't feel things.

I, for one, am ready for a lot more adventure and a lot less nothing.

It's always harder to be the one who's left behind than the one who leaves.

People don't get my sense of humour.

Respect earned through fear instead of deeds, was not truly respect.

Sometimes milestones are not measured by the accomplishments of society, but by those of integrity.
