Year by year I learn more about myself, and I think that confidence and honesty and just really being true to yourself is probably the most beautiful thing that you can do for yourself and the people around you.

Maybe I was a pirate in my past life. I didn’t kill people, though. I was just a badass

Beautiful. True. Words to remind yourself, words to live by.

My father was a general manager with Hyatt, so we lived in the hotel so he would be close by if there were any problems. My mum was always adamant about us not abusing it. So I still had to clean my room. Housekeeping would never come and do it.

Once a month, try something you don’t think you’d be good at. You can find such happy surprises.

I'm a very understanding person. That's something I was raised to be aware of - not everybody has the same shoes to fill or walks the same way or is on the same path.
