Mum doesn't like it when I mention that Dad's a better cook than her. He was born in Spain and spent eight years in Portugal and is exceptional at lots of cuisines.

My mum came from nothing and didn't have many opportunities in her youth, and she blames a lot of her social inadequacies on that.

There's nothing better than achieving your goals, whatever they might be.

Dressing up is like therapy; I feel better in myself when I've made an effort.

My mum's always on at me to have children and blames 'that stupid stage thing you do' for me not already having a family.

I don't know anyone, from any class, who's had a perfectly easy life. I've met people born into wealthy families who feel like they didn't have much emotional support, and people who come from working-class families who had loads of love but no money.
