People have their cultural reasons for eating meat, their traditional reasons, their likes and dislikes.

It would have been very easy for me to put on a little tight skirt and go out and try what I always call the Barbie doll roles.

I want our students to be so accustomed to children of other cultures that the words 'diversity' and 'tolerance' won't be in their vocabulary. They won't need them - they'll live it.

My personal style has developed from growing up in Oklahoma, middle America, where I was wearing jeans and cowboy boots and where people were not running around in miniskirts.

I tend to wear monochromatic outfits - all one colour from head to toe.

I have a soft spot for cashmere - even though that is not a particularly sustainable fabric, I do invest in quality, so it is sustainable in the sense that it is not just throwaway fashion and I keep it for a long, long time.

If you don't go and do something in life, nothing happens.
