I feel like young girls are told, I don’t know, that they have to be this kind of princess and fragile. It’s bullshit. I identify much more with being a warrior, a fighter. If I was going to be a princess I’d be a warrior princess definitely.

I'm going to do what I want to do. I'm going to be who I really am. I'm going to figure out what that is.

I didn't see many female politicians on TV. I didn't see women in history textbooks, so I did geography, and art and English literature. But I know I must have been affected by not seeing women represented.

Obviously, I'm recognized on the street and I am away from home a lot more and, let's face it, I have an action figure of myself!

We really damage our own confidence when we put ourselves down, so I try not to.

And I always keep cards people send me. I have a whole wall covered with them.

Concentrate on comfort - even if that means wearing the same thing over and over, because when I feel comfortable, I feel so much more relaxed and have a much better time.
