For me, whatever age or size I've been, I have rather liked myself. The shell is not the thing at all.

I don't know what the future holds, but I have to be confident about it. It's just the way I am.

Any people whose lives are about the way they look, whether it's fat or thin, are in a dangerous area.

I watch schlock telly. Like the 'Kardashians.' I love it. It's my guilty pleasure.

Funny how women are ashamed of their inner fairy whereas men are forever proudly displaying their inner cowboy or fireman

I've often said the most difficult things I have to say to people through humour. I can very quickly put someone in their place with it. But we all walk away unscathed because there's been some funnies around it, and I'll usually make sure that it comes back at me.

I have turned away from the thought of writing fiction in the past through what I suppose is, actually, fear. The direct, raw invitation for the reader to come in and explore my imagination is fairly scary for me so I have busied myself with so much else.
