Never ostentatious.

I think American men are more conscious of putting up a good impression.

I went to an all-girls boarding school for most of my youth. We used to,do stupid, fun girly things like pull tights over our faces and streak,through the lacrosse pitch. And once I snogged the gardener.

I just want to work, and learn from people I respect and admire.

I would often find myself, at the age of 21, at midnight, running down a dark street on my own with 10 men chasing me. And the fact they had cameras in their hands made that legal.

I like being able to walk into an old town and find good local food.

Everyone in L. A. is very positive and upbeat, whereas London can get quite miserable at times.

I once made the mistake of going for a whole row of false eyelashes, which was just wrong as it gave me a sad, puppy-eyed look.

I was blinded by being a romantic person.

I want a big church wedding. .
