As a child I was the best tree climber in our neighbourhood, I was like a little monkey. I've never been afraid of hurting myself or a little physical discomfort.

You would never say to a man, 'do you like playing strong men?' You just wouldn't say that.

I never felt popular as a child and never had best friends.

I fought the best; I've never been afraid of anyone.

I think I'm very curious about other people. I like to sit and eavesdrop, you know.

I've always been fascinated by activists, people who will devote their life to a cause, people who go to India and to Africa and put their life in jeopardy to do what they believe is right.
