- I love my sister dearly but all the things that annoy me about her I can see in myself
- After over 18 years and counting I am still seeking love, affection, acknowledgment and acceptance from my Father. I know it won’t ever happen, but I keep trying
- Many of my deepest, darkest secrets aren’t actually that scary or shocking as some of the things that people know about me
- I believe my parents did the best they could for me in terms of my upbringing, I went to a good school, but I just don’t think they realised that the social skills are such a necessity
- London is my spiritual home, despite knowing that I am a villager through and through I would give anything to be a proper humourous, self-deprecating, friendy londerer
- My friends have had the most influence on my musical taste
- Everybody says I resemble my Father in looks but I think I look very like my Mum,
- Despite collage being quite fraught I loved my time there, and I would give anything to do it all over again and do the things I wished I had done the first time round
- I have three favourite places to sit and think; on Tynemouth Beach looking at the sea preferably on a late summer’s evening, sitting on the banks of the Serven drinking a take out coffee and watching the sun set
- I have lost count of the number of times I have fallen over. I think I am dyspraxic but prefer to just admit to severe clumsiness
- I love being an absolute tease in more ways than one and think everyone should have a good harmless flirt at least once
- I have never had a totally acrimonious break up, I think life is too short
- On the whole I try to be optimistic, it just doesn’t always work
