Notable quote
"When I think of what a lightweight girl I was, expecting roses to grow around the door, expecting everyone to be perfect… but of course, it's the layers you grow that make you into a person. "I realise on reflection that I'm a strong person - even steely, actually - but I had no idea." - from an interview in The Guardian in 2007
