I hate having my picture taken.

My dad can be pretty critical sometimes.

I don't mind a big fascinator. I think there is more scope for artwork in a fascinator rather than a hat.

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

I was always told from the hat-makers that you should have your hair up because it shows the hat more. It feels more 'done' when your hair is up.

I don't think about the media.

I love hats; I love putting hats on. They are artwork. You can always go out and find a dress to wear for some occasion, but there are not that many occasions you can wear a hat.

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

I'm not a princess anyway so I find that quite weird to be labelled as one.

I'm an affectionate person.

Unfortunately in sport it's either good or bad. You've got to take the highs and the lows.

History never repeats itself, historians do.

I resent the hell out of the politicians and generals who force events on us that structure our lives, that dictate the memories we'll have when we're old.

Sometimes even stuff you expect to happen can still hurt

The general will rules in society as the private will governs each separate individual.

I have learned to prize holy ignorance more highly than religious certainty and to seek companions who have arrived at the same place.

After that dark woman you search for someone who will fit into the irregular corners of your heart.

Life's sharpest rapture is surcease of pain.

I wasn't popular in the home office because I wasn't chicken. I'm just a risk taker. I have gut instincts.

I prefer periods of peace and love.

I wanted to get a tape recorder, but I got a parrot instead. I think I did that joke backwards.
