I really keep my life very simple.

I have amazing collaborators as well, but I want to learn more and be a self-contained unit.

I'm a country girl, raised in Gloucestershire, England. But my family encouraged me to travel, and I wanted to experience the world. Maybe that's not traditional, but my values have stayed strong. Perhaps that's where wanting to have children comes into it: I'll always be making work; I guess when - and if - I have children, I'll have them with me.

If I want to dress myself a certain way, I don't want to have to rely on someone else to do it for me.

Half of my life I’ve had people staring at me because they think I’m funny-looking and ugly. The other half 
of my life I’ve had people staring at me because they think I’m fascinating. Everything neutralises

I just try to keep my dignity and carry on with my day.

When I was very young I wanted to be an opera singer, a ballet dancer... The people I loved were a little different.
