Growing up, others girls wanted to dance and help their mums with the cooking. I liked to play soccer with the boys. Or I'd be off on my own, tilting mirrors towards the sun in order to burn armies of ants. That was my idea of fun.

I was brought up to believe that there is no such thing as failure as long as I'm trying my best. So I've had a 'blood, guts and glory' approach through my whole life.

When it comes down to it, at the end of the day, I need more out of my life and I need to push myself harder. And if at the end of the day I don't have it, then I don't have it, but at least I'm going to put myself out there. If I fail, I'm going to fail terrifically.

I'm definitely someone who likes to fly by the seat of her pants. My mum always prays for the best.

Since I was 15 years old, all I wanted was to find the guy I was going to marry.

I never got into using my phone's calendar. It's easier to write in my Tiffany day planner. There's something charming about having a datebook.

I have tons of sunglasses. My husband won't let me buy another pair because I lose them all the time.
