I never thought of having cancer as something that was unfair. I just braced myself and tried to get through it.

I wanted to become an artist because it meant endless possibilities. Art was a way of reinventing myself.

I have a massive phobia for schedules and calendars. I need people to tell me where I need to be. I can't bear to see it in black and white. I think it's a fear of being pinned down.

Sorry, there's nothing like a screaming baby to make a mother twitch.

I love karaoke. I love maudlin country ballads. In another life I'd be Loretta Lynn.

I took on cancer like I take on everything - like a mission and a job to accomplish.

I like Alexander McQueen's work a lot: he's always pushing boundaries, and he's rough around the edges.
