My father was really good at having me stand on my own two feet, both financially and philosophically. His whole parenting philosophy was to give my brother and me the skills to be grown-ups and the curiosity to ask the right questions.

Doubt, not self-reflection, comes from a destructive energy, and when it rears its head, I talk to it like a lunatic.

One year I was given a birthday present I'll never forget - a cooking lesson from Jamie Oliver.

People have become inappropriate. People have pushed too far. People have climbed one too many fences. I'm just tired of it.

My dad always said he couldn't remember a time when I did not want to act.

I understand what it feels like not to like aspects of yourself. There have been times that I have felt really terrible about the way I look. I have the seed of that feeling.

It's a waste of time for people to say things they think other people want to hear, or try and come off in a certain way. I try to be as honest as I can.
