I've always considered myself to be a travelling soul. I've never felt out of place anywhere.

I have to take care of myself. It's about self-preservation.

We can all afford to do a little soul-searching about the choices we make and the way we live our lives, but sometimes searching one's soul doesn't provide the answers we seek.

I've always been a bit dressed up, even on casual days. I suppose that's the performer in me.

I think of myself as an Olympian. I have had a dream since I was a very small child. And because I have parents without whom I couldn't have realised that dream.

I don't feel I'm fighting to reach this huge audience; it just happens. I go on stage before the audience arrives and look out to this vast empty house. There's something therapeutic about taking in the ring where you'll perform.
