“Curvy is something to be proud of.”

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.

I like sparkles; I think I’m a magpie.

The freedom that money gives you makes you… well, I wouldn’t say happy, but I’d say it gives you diversity.

I don’t have a competitive bone in my body, so the last thing I want to do is be competing with people.

I don’t overthink when I’m styling. I kind of forgive myself and accept that I will make mistakes. Getting dressed should be a fun experience!

I really like to please people, and I think it’s a symptom of being an only child.

I feel curious about every situation I’m in.

I lend people money, but I’d never lend something that would jeopardise a friendship if I didn’t get it back.

Cinema affects everything, from the way I get dressed to how I build my stages.

I vote Labour and can’t begin to acknowledge anything good that comes from a Tory.

I’m surrounded by friends and family who are not that impressed by celebrity. They don’t have any problem telling me I’m acting like an idiot or I’m not that funny.

I try not to brand myself ‘weird’ any more because it sticks.

My favourite authors are Milan Kundera and Jeanette Winterson.

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

Doctors put drugs of which they know little into bodies of which they know less for diseases of which they know nothing at all.

No man has the right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training. It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable.

Pray, pray be composed, and do not betray what you feel to every body present.

When you have a well developed body and you’re confident, you see people bending your way, wanting to be on your side, wanting to do things for you.

A body in motion tends to stay in motion unless acted on by an outside force.

My body is like breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I don’t think about it, I just have it.

And when you appear all the rivers sound in my body, bells shake the sky, and a hymn fills the world.

Keeping your body healthy is an expression of gratitude to the whole cosmos – the trees, the clouds, everything.
