I was very, very underdeveloped for my age, I hated what I looked like, so I thought everyone had gone stark raving mad.

If I want to calm down, I'll buy some fabric, get a pattern, shut myself in a room and stay there for days, really happy. And at the end of it, you get a bedspread or some curtains or something to wear - it's lovely.

I love flat shoes, more so than heels. One of my obsessions is men's co-respondent lace-ups.

Christianity, like most religions, works with fear. Sins can be confessed and you are 'Clean again' and can start to sin again without thinking about your old sins. We believe that people should ask themselves why they sinned. They should show some responsibility.

I've never really had a waist. Even when I was at my slimmest, my silhouette was very straight up, straight down. But I have learnt how to give myself a bit of waist by optical illusion. For this, bring on the belts.

I don't understand people getting depressed about getting older. There is nothing you can do about it, so you might as well embrace it.

For special occasions, I love pretty dresses - but nothing too frou-frou!
