Everybody who has ever been snubbed, you know that is very humiliating.

I'm just so happy and I'm grateful for my fans. I just hope I keep doing work that they love.

I'm really happy. Really! I think people honestly just want to see me as a mum and married and barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen. And I just want to say, 'Everybody, relax! It's going to happen.'

Designing a house is like doing a movie: Once you're done, you want to say, 'I hope you all enjoy it.'

I realised how paranoid and guarded and not trusting - walled-in - I had become. Not consciously so, but just this armour that I kind of have, protective armour. It's not for my friends or family, but for being.outside in the world, always on guard.

I'm lucky if I write a letter.

It gets so boring you know just to do the same thing over and over again.
