It's really hard seeing somebody you love be in pain and be ill and there's nothing you can do. What's interesting is people act in so many different ways. You know, some people run away, some people get angry, some people fall apart. It's like everybody has a different way of dealing with stuff like that.

I think my mum has the foulest mouth of anyone I've ever met.

Dress how you feel and love what you wear because at the end of the day you have got to wear and feel great in it.

I call myself a FFP: former fat person, and when you're an FFP, you will always see in yourself what people used to bully you for.
