From 16 to 21 when I was self sufficient and working in factories. I packed batteries, boxes, and make-up with heroin addicts. I have to thank my mum for kicking me out at 16 and making me stand on my own two feet.

I learn fast and I take note of what I've been told.

I think a lot of ladies get quite scared about people like me, 'rock stars', and it can be hard to meet the right sort of person.
