'The public adore me... I haven't got a bad word to say about Paul... men are falling over themselves to ask me out... my only interest in life is helping others.'
In this unintentionally hilarious interview, Heather Mills talks about the subject nearest to her heart - herself.

But she has just enough time to say that no, she didn't try out for a cameo role on Desperate Housewives, which was reportedly vetoed by actress Eva Longoria, who allegedly refused to have Heather anywhere on set, nor was she fired from the American version of The Apprentice before she'd even started filming when producers, it was claimed, tired of her demands.
She also denies reports that she is writing a novel about a model who marries a pop star as a means of getting around the gagging order preventing her from talking about her marriage.
'It's all rubbish!' she insists. Charity is her main focus, she says. It's what made her popular before she married Sir Paul - you remember don't you? And one suspects she's hoping it might just make her popular once more.
'I really feel that Life Begins at 40,' says Heather,'I celebrated my birthday this year with a group of family and friends and I was thrilled. When I was 20 I couldn't wait to be 40 because, if you've got a business head, people don't take you seriously when you are young.
'My health is good at the moment, but as any amputee will tell you, there are good days and bad. Yes, there are days when you can do cartwheels and others when you can't use your prosthetic leg because a wound won't heal and you have to sit quietly and wait, and use the wheelchair.'
With the dust now settling, does she regret her marriage to former Beatle and national icon Sir Paul?
'How would you feel if you'd been through what I have? But no, how can I regret something which gave us our beautiful daughter Beatrice. I went through six miscarriages and two ectopic pregnancies before I had her,' says Heather.
'I was told I could never have children and now I have her and she's just fantastic. I adore her. So no, I could never regret something which gave me Beatrice.
'But I'm ready to move on in my life now. I'm not a negative person, I want to move on positively. I need to look at the bigger picture, which means helping those causes close to my heart.'
Just as Heather refuses to talk about Sir Paul, so she refuses to reveal if there is anyone special in her life, although she was linked to holiday rep Jamie Walker, whom she met in Tenerife in June.
'I feel I am ready now to date again,' she says. 'I'm very open to that idea of building up a relationship.'
With a younger man this time? 'I don't have any set ideas,' she says.
Doesn't she worry that some of these potential suitors might be, ahem, gold-diggers after a slice of her millions?
'I don't believe in using that kind of terminology,' she says. 'I like to think I can trust my instincts.'
And with that, Heather Mills is off. After all, she does have 1,000 vegan meals to cook.Source: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/articl
