The things that make me happiest in the whole world are going on the occasional picnic, either with my children or with my partner. Big family gatherings, and being able to go to the grocery store - if I can get those things in, I’m doing good.

I love to cook; I cook every day. Chicken features a lot in our lives.

Ultimately, you just have one life. You never know unless you try. And you never get anywhere unless you ask.

I never had crushes on anybody when I was younger; I really didn't.

I do endless chopping and preparing things. I really find that relaxing. I do a lot of thinking as I am chopping and cooking.

I am incredibly passionate about my life, I am absolutely unable to hide any emotion. If I wrote a book, I'd have to call it 'P is for Passion'. I don't go in for anything halfway. My feelings about things are instant, on the spot. And my heart is always, always on my sleeve.

Having just had a baby, I'm not going to be thinking about my arse.
