But in some ways, I'm like an old woman - lived it, seen it, done it, been there, have the T-shirt.

I'm glad I lived such a full life before I settled down into a family because I got to enjoy it and get it out of my system.

I am not someone who is ashamed of my past. I'm actually really proud. I know I made a lot of mistakes, but they in turn were my life lessons.

Life's too short. We have to love each other.

I aspire to be that, to be a voice of reason one day.

I understand there are inevitable things that we have to go through: heartbreak, family problems. I don't feel like some Quixotic idiot who says, 'We don't have to feel pain.' No! Let's feel it, let's make it work for ourselves. But I want us all to be able to get past it.
