Q. What most inspires me?

A. My past is a form of inspiration to me because I look at it in the right context. A lot of people see their past as a bad place they never want to return to; some obsess over it so much they are still living in it. And their present actions reflect that.

But when I see the past, even the parts I don’t like, I use it as a source of inspiration.

Q. My three things to do before I die?

A 1. Go to Glastonbury
A 2. Go to an Elephant sanctuary.
A 3. See lots more of the world.

Q. What do I regret the most?

A. I wish I had cared less about what other people thought (like I do now) :)

Q. What is your most embarrassing moment?

A. The start of a new job in a big company, it was raining and very windy. Just before going into the front reception area, the wind turns my umbrella inside out and I lose grip, end up chasing the umbrella down the street. I was drenched! I had a team wating to meet me in Reception on my first day and they saw everything.

Q. What’s the scariest thing I’ve ever done?

A. I was young, drunk, and naïve, I got a taxi home late at night after being out. The taxi driver started speaking in a different language while casually looking at me in the mirror. As we slowed down to stop at some traffic lights, I opened the car door and ran as fast as my legs could possibly take me. As I got home the taxi driver was at my house wanting payment. (I’d forgotten I had given him my address) I had to apologise, explain, pay him, and never order from that company ever again! I thought Liam Neesan would have to step in!

Q. A fun fact about me.

A. I was posh spice when I was in a spice girls’ group at school.. I couldn’t be further from posh!
