I was quite creative at school, and was also interested in fashion , but I was shy - I'm still not the loudest of people, believe it or not.

I love spring flowers: daffodils and hyacinths are the ultimate flower for me. They are the essence of spring.

I think I think I am Superwoman sometimes but I am not.

I have always enjoyed drawing and painting but I don't always find the time to do much these days.

I love animals and feel very strongly that people should not be allowed to buy a pet if they are not able to look after it.

I've got a really sweet tooth and sometimes I just have to have some chocolate.

Being busy with work, and as a mum, I'm a big fan of online shopping.

My idea of a good night has always been having a lovely meal and a proper conversation.

I don't find offensive that I'm being labelled a babe by blokes. I'm absolutely flattered.

I don't waste money on smart, expensive clothes.

Elizabeth I was my favourite monarch though, what an inspiration, she did great things for women.

Not everyone takes action to harvest the experiences of the seasons of life in order to enjoy their bounty.

Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

It was truly revealing. The strength of the intervention, the intensity of colors and the happiness of this work, has never left me.

Concepts and intellectual devices or chops can't mask or conceal an underlying lack of emotive power.

Think colour! Know how to imagine it!

Of course, from time to time, I want to do everything myself and be more involved on my own with the creative process. But I don't mind the collaboration at all.

All art is immortal. For emotion for the sake of emotion is the aim of art, and emotion for the sake of action is the aim of life.

I don't even know what I don't even know.

Every season we try to do something new. And not for gimmicks. We feel the show has to evolve and keep changing.

It's hard to see how anyone can fail to care about innocent children and animals being blown up by landmines.
