I've never experienced chronic poverty, but I know what it's like to live on £3 a week.

Each individual is as individual as their fingerprints, and I think that's extraordinary.

I get very frustrated when I hear women saying, "Oh, feminism is passé," because I think feminism means empowerment. Men can be feminists, too! Many men are feminists. We need feminism. It's not against men; it's about the empowerment of women. It's the respect of women - giving women equal rights, the same opportunities.

In a way, it's all down to perception, isn't it? And everyone has their own take on everything.

I was perceiving myself as good as a man or equal to a man and as powerful and I wanted to look ambiguous because I thought that was a very interesting statement to make through the media. And it certainly did cause quite a few ripples and interest and shock waves.

HIV/AIDS has no boundaries.

I was never much of a one to win prizes... and certainly never placed too much value on their acquisition.
