8. PERSONAL QUOTES
• I want to fall in love, I think. I've never. I know. Everyone I know's been in love or in relationships now and . . .
There's only ever been . . . there's been people telling me they love me, but it freaks me out and I just run,
run. I think I'm a bad girlfriend.
• The energy you give off is the energy you receive. I really think that, so I'm always myself--jumping, dancing,
singing around, trying to cheer everybody up.
• Kids should speak to each other. They're horrid to each other online, they bully each other--they should shut
up and stop it. The problem with social media is there is too much freedom. It's too much, too young.
• I treat the camera like a person--I gaze into it. Photos are a flat thing, and you need to put life into them.
• I had no interest in fashion when I was younger. I was such a tomboy.
• My dream is to go spend a week on some island with no phone.
9. • I love comfort. Comfort is very key to me because I spend most of my time in very unFame,
do I like it? No. It has bought a lot for me in my career, but there are a lot of downsides to it.
You give up your privacy. I did it to myself but not to my family and friends. You don't ask
for it. You just have to live with it.
• I've started doing yoga and meditation, but I'm not very good at that kind of thing and
turning my brain off.
• comfortable things, so it's all about trainers and flats.
• I just don't think that I trust men. That's the problem. I can appreciate a beautiful-looking
man, but he's not my type.
• I like a little bit of designer, with a bit of vintage and high street mixed in. I love it when you
find those one-off key pieces, which end up becoming investment pieces.
