My family are my priority but I've always had a strong work ethic and I like to be busy.

In the past, I've thrown myself into work so much there's been very little room for anything else.

I'm in the lucky position financially where I don't have to do things I don't want to do.

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.

My dream is to have a gay son.

My mum loves cats so I took her to see the lion cubs which at about a year old are actually quite big. She wasn't scared at all and went straight over and kissed one on the mouth! She thought they were just like her pets at home.

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.
