Britney Spears: "Every night, I have to read a book so that my mind will stop thinking about things that I stress about. I focus on my book and then fall asleep."

Elizabeth Hurley: "When it all gets too much, when I reach the breaking point, I turn the phone off, get in to a scented bath and read a favourite book for half an hour."

Jerry Hall: 
"I soak in Dead Sea salt baths and go to this back doctor who pops your back and neck, which is brilliant for stress. I also adore going for long walks along the river. I find that very soothing."

Kate Winslet:
"Read The Beauty Myth. It’s a wonderful book that Emma Thompson gave me. Since I read it, I’ve been much more relaxed about what I look like."

Meg Ryan: 
"When I need something to shut my mind up, I meditate or chant."

Penelope Cruz:
"I hate stress but sometimes it is inevitable. Then I sleep for 14 hours a day for two weeks. When I do not sleep enough, I get crazy like a baby."— AF
