The beliefs I was raised with - to respect animals and to be aware of nature, to understand that we share this planet with other creatures - have had a huge impact on me.

People think I'm strong, but actually I wanted to crawl away. I thought, I'm going to live in the country with my horse and I'll get a nine-to-five; I don't need this.

People work better when they are afforded to be themselves

I´m a real believer that just doing a little something is a lot better than doing a lot of nothing.

My mum taught me to have a soul.

I used to get embarrassed about the fact I liked fashion. I still get a bit cringy.

I didn't want to be thirtysomething and not know what I was going to do. I was quite afraid of that, there were quite a lot of aimless kids around, in that 'other' side of my life, who didn't really know what to do because they always had a bank balance to fall back on and they were quite lost.
