It sounds ideal, a sort of beach childhood. But it wasn't really. I didn't use the beach very much at all.

I need my friends, I need my house, I need my garden.

I've never felt stigmatized in my profession, nor have I allowed myself to. I don't feel either male or female, I feel I am just me, and I should be able to do whatever I like.

I have no idea what my persona would be. As far as I'm concerned, I'm changing all the time.

I don't necessarily wait for that massive leading role. I want to keep the juices flowing.

I like the personality of the Belgians. They're deeply eccentric, which is something that comes across in their design - terrific.

Feminism was a dirty word for a while.
