There are lots of beautiful areas in England, and I am lucky enough to live in a stunning part of a very beautiful area.

All creative people have to have vulnerability because those nuances are what move people. So I'm deeply insecure - but I'm good at hiding it.

I don't feel I fit in with morning television because I'm like a vampire and I like to stay up late.

I'm very affected by what I watch and read.

I'm not that materialistic. I like nice clothes and that, but I don't spend lots of money on stuff. I'm not really into TV, I don't have an iPod, I've got a gramophone.

There's nothing better than achieving your goals, whatever they might be.

Some men think that if you're empowered and sure of yourself then you're a man-hater, but it's like, 'No, I'm just the same as you are, but maybe just a tiny bit more confident.'
