I was just learning to be by myself. He seemed to really see me, see through the bullshit...He was so handsome, and he could dance. I thought, 'He won't be interested in me; I'm not a contender. He was so cool, so funny - I was such a fan of his and had always fancied his speed and his intelligence. I thought, 'I'm not beautiful enough or his type.'

It's so important to have that independence. You know it yourself: Everyone needs evenings of their own.

I think my confidence has developed over the years, in terms of the speed at which I will reveal how collaborative I want to be.

Anything that becomes an obstacle in life is only an opportunity to learn and it's the same in any profession I think.

I have a great pack of female friends, but I also have a lot of guy friends. I believe that platonic relationship is entirely possible.

I don't think anyone should apologize for being sexy if it comes from a genuine place, if they're not being forced into an objectifying situation.

I use the PhotoReady Foundation almost every day, and their lip glosses are fantastic.
