I'm not trying to succeed for the people who are waiting for me to fail. I'm doing it for myself. I'm one for the 'You only live once so you should do as much as you can' sort of thing.

It's stupid to say that I don't like being in the public eye, but I don't like doing stuff that's not needed.

I love the sport and being competitive.

Virtually everything that gets printed about me is wrong anyway, so it doesn't really matter what you say.

I don't have a stylist, and I do most of my shopping online, just because it's easier. I don't have any nails to manicure, and it takes me 30 minutes to get ready for a night out, as long as I've decided what to wear first.

The senior members of the royal family work very hard and I don't think people quite realise that.

The horses are all characters, all personalities. Some you get along with, some you don't, some might take a bit longer.
