thinking media way
I think the media are so hypocritical a lot of the time in the way they chastise something just so that they can print it again.
girl teenager school
I was like most teenagers. I wanted to look more conventional - you know, to just be the pretty girl in school.
book opportunity journey
I take my books everywhere. Plane journeys are a good opportunity to study, or also when I'm having my hair done.
integrity believe thinking
I don't think of myself as a role model for others, but I like to live my life by my own integrity. So, in that sense, I might be a positive influence. I do believe you should get over your insecurities and just try to be the best you can.
giving cohesion economy
Giving triggers social cohesion. It's also the basis for an economy not based on money.
want achieve platforms
I love modeling but also see it as a platform for the million other things I want to achieve and create in life.
hurt children couple
When I was younger, I definitely did face anti-ginger prejudice. As a child, all teasing hurts, whether it's because you're fat or a different race or have red hair. I had enough comments from a couple of people to make it a sore point.
issues personality problem
I've always cared about issues, always thought through problems. I don't know how much that comes from my personality or my mum.
social should used
I have set up several businesses as social businesses, and I am a great believer that the power of business should be used for good.
lips bags mascara
I usually have a lip balm in my bag and mascara as well. I don't really wear much make-up, but I like mascara because I've got fair colouring.
creativity ideas clothes
There's an inherent contradiction between appreciating the beauty of clothes and creativity and individuality, and the waste around the ideas of trends and seasons.
fashion issues film
Modelling, fashion and film have all encouraged me to learn more about issues and to feel empowered enough to do something about them.
heart years acting
Acting is something I've done since I was six years old, performing for my mum and my family in the living room, and I do it because my heart's in it.
motivation ambition keys
Talent is crucial. It needs to be driven by motivation, but blind ambition isn't the key.
