I am an optimist. I think, as bad as life sometimes gets, there is so much joy and so much good stuff, that there is a balance.

I never believed I wouldn't make it - and perhaps that's why I've always found work. I've always stuck at everything I've ever done. I absolutely won't give up.

I didn't go nightclubbing much as a teenager in Bournemouth because my friends and I didn't have the money - but we spent a lot of time on the beach, having barbecues, and running into the sea in the middle of the night.

I want to be buried with a mobile phone, just in case I'm not dead.

It is going to take a very brave man to love me.

I was a prefect at school, I never had a tattoo, got a detention or pierced my ears more than once.
