I remember her as being a huge inspiration to me, someone to really look up to and admire. |
I think it's very important that you make your own decision about what you are. Therefore you're responsible for your actions, so you don't blame other people. |
I was influenced a lot by my visits to hostels with my mother when I was younger. I learned a lot from it, more so now that I did at the time. My mother used her position very well to help other people, as does my father, and I hope to do the same. |
I'm always open for people saying I'm wrong because most of the time I am. |
I'm not an over-dominant person. I don't go around and expect everyone to listen to me the whole time. But I like to be in control of my life because I have so many people around me, I can get pulled in one direction and then the other. If I don't have any say in it, then I end up just losing complete control and I don't like the idea of that. I could actually lose my identity. |
I've had lots of kids come up and ask for my autograph, I've had a grandmother stop me and ask me if I know a good place to buy underwear. |
My guiding principles in life are to be honest, genuine, thoughtful and caring. |
Only the mad girls chase me, I think. |
People say it's not ambitious, but it is actually quite ambitious wanting to help people. |
She had such a young sense of humor. Every single thing that went wrong or was funny for any reason, she laughed herself stupid about it -- it kept us all sane. |
She was incredible -- nothing stopped her at all. Whenever I felt ill, I always used to remember that in the same circumstances she would battle on, no matter how she felt. She never gave up. |
The last thing I want to do is be mollycoddled or be wrapped up in cotton wool, because if I was to join the Army, I would want to go where my men went, and I'd want to do what they did. I would not want to be kept back for being precious, or whatever - that's the last thing I would want. |
The last thing I want to do is cause loads of hype or problems, I just want to go in there and get my asparagus or whatever. |
The party is on my birthday, June 21 - my 21st on the 21st, which is Midsummer's Day, the longest day of the year and the longest night for a lot of people who are helping to organize it. My father very kindly suggested having a party, although he's probably regretting it now. |
There's been a lot of speculation about every single girl I'm with and it actually does quite irritate me after a while, more so because it's a complete pain for the girls. |
