“I'm bad; I wear trainers with everything: with a dress, skirts, all of that.”

“I wish I could do 50 projects a year.”

“The selfie phenomenon is enormous, and it's hilarious. Especially as Australians, because we kind of hate people that love themselves, but that's all flipping on its head now, and we're happy to love ourselves.”

“Marriage isn't always cupcakes and Jesus juice, but it's important to show each other your marriage is a priority and that you still love them.”

“I think because Sport Lux has come in and leisure wear is a new thing, girls can sneak in hoodies and leggings and so on where they wouldn't normally - it has been proper legitimate fashion.”

“I want anything I produce to be good for people kind enough to try it, but it's the momentum and process I enjoy most.”

“I guess the headline is that you mustn't tough it out assuming it's 'normal' to feel incredible pain when you're preggo or post-partum, or be afraid to try a new specialist or a new kind of specialist if you have pain that isn't getting any better.”

“Hamish and I rarely go to launches or parties any more but prefer to spend our time hanging out together.”

“An anniversary is a reminder as to why you love and married this person.”

“It's important to show each other your marriage is a priority.”

“We live a happy life, and we don't take anything too seriously.”

“When I first have an idea, I'll spit-ball it with my husband: he's my beautiful ideas sounding board. I usually have a year deadline from start to finish, so I'll piss about for three months and pretend to get started. Then there's four to six months of actual writing and, after that, submissions, edits, and eventually a finished product.”

“As with any moderately famous person, footballers are the source of much gossip. In fact, I'd go as far as to say they are targeted. The fun part as their partner is not knowing who, or what, to believe.”

“You're allowed to work hard and have good things and do good things.”

“Life isn't always really glamorous and fabulous. It's about encouraging people to go back to natural beauty.”

“I used to write fiction, non-fiction, fiction, non-fiction and have a clear pattern because I'd need a break from one style when going into the next book.”

“There are perks to being the partner of a professional athlete - we were invited into beautiful homes, enjoyed stunning sponsor cars, got special treatment at restaurants, and attended many exquisite functions.”

“Use a corrector to do all the heavy lifting under the eyes, not concealer. I spent years re-applying and layering concealer and Touche Eclat under there, when what I really needed was a good, peachy-toned corrector.”

“The morning is always my best time of the day for writing because that's when my head is best.”

“I really like funny women. I'm drawn to women like Tina Fey and Amy Poehler and Kristen Wiig, Amy Schumer. They're writers, they're producers, they're actresses. They're brilliant, funny, excellent women.”
