I was not emotionally mature enough to accept any kind of success when I was young. I needed to go that long route.

I read, I gossip, I do crosswords. I think chatting with friends is relaxing. I've picked them up all through my life - if you live long enough, you end up with quite a large circle.

As long as I am still interested and curious I enjoy getting up in the morning, but I can't say I have a happy smile on my face 24/7.

I'm childish and silly. Most people tease me because I'm a bit daft.

I do think that there are certain parts, if you are lucky enough to play them, that are bigger than you, and they stretch you. I don't think you become a bigger person, but you develop certain muscles you didn't have before.

As I have got older, I have become easier on myself. It's about realising things can't be perfect.
