I love babies. I love being pregnant and I loved giving birth.

I'm always the girl at the party who, within five minutes, has taken my heels off, hitched up my dress in my knickers, and probably spilt drink down my cleavage.

I really enjoy making dinner for my kids and my husband - chopping ginger and marinating the tofu.

I was a very defiant child, and my father encouraged that. He wanted me to be as wild and creative as possible and didn't believe in disciplining children.

I've never worn fur, either. I'm a naturally squeamish person, and fur smells like dead animal to me.

My childhood was colorfully anarchic and punctuated by a lot of change.

When I had my first boy it all started and that male energy seemed to keep me awake but since my daughter, who's incredibly serene, I can't seem to stop sleeping because she's asleep all the time. It's a pattern.
