"I've been waking up to Mike for nearly 25 years. I love being married but it's a crazy thing when you really think about it. 'Will you marry me?' 'Sure!' But then you think about the Chanel purse you spent a fortune on, and actually, 'I don't really like it any more – I'll put it up for resale,'" she quipped.
"It's impossible for there not to be ups and downs if you live with the same person and wake up with them every day," she told Britain's Telegraph.
