“I was a product of the society that said women are for decoration, and I do think girls should be able to do whatever they want.”

“If you're struggling for gift ideas, my advice is to give experiences rather than things.”
“I'd never say something that I didn't feel I could defend.”
“I know a lot about systemic lupus erythematosus because I have it, too. I was diagnosed through the NHS when I first moved to England in 2008 following months of serious illness.”

“I love paying people to touch me. Nail techs, hair stylists, dermatologists, make-up artists, osteopaths: you name it, I love it.”
