Mum had a job fitting upholstery into cars, but, in the evenings, she worked as a seamstress.

I'm with people all the time so I often go away on my own.

Dad was a bus driver, and when he finished work he would repair cars.

My parents wanted me to work in a bank or as an accountant.

If I had a place with a studio where I could paint I'd be happy.

In reality, nobody gets successful in America by being lazy.

I'm a sucker for turquoise sea, white beaches and palm trees. I've been to the tropics every year since I could afford it. It's the perfect place to unwind. I can chill out, read, do a bit of yoga.
