I didn't know what to do with myself. I wasn't excited by the teaching of the school. If they'd been intent on really teaching you things, I would have been a little more attentive.

Very quickly, without really looking back or trying, I was just suddenly lifted into another sphere.

Wherever the wings of love take me, that is my flare path and my way.

Suddenly I had a contract and I was earning lots of money.

I had a place in England and was commuting from England to Australia, which is pretty stupid, but after two years I sort of knew what I wanted to do, more or less.

You never came home for lunch: you just stayed doing, playing, having fun, surfing, running round.

If there was a distraction I'd get up and jump out the window. I was quite out of hand. In schools like that I don't think they expect that girls are going to behave in such an outrageous fashion.
