I believed in raising my children as I had been raised.

My mother had faith in me, had more faith in me than I had in myself, and knowing that she did made me try to find faith. She believed in trying things.

My mum believes in me almost more than I believe in myself.

I applaud my mother now for getting me through that time and making me believe in myself.

I was lucky to have parents and people who believed in me.

I was brought up to believe I could achieve anything. My mother instilled in me the belief that there was always something great coming. For example, even though I'm afraid of flying, I always think the plane can't crash because there are so many better things still to come.

When I was growing up and trying to get my foot on the ladder, I had the self-belief that my mother taught me, and it never occurred to me that anything could go wrong. I've learned life can't be like that.

Self-belief? My parents gave it to me.

You could fancy what you'd like, but as a woman, my mother always raised us to believe in ourselves. I am very grateful that my mother brought me up that way.

I think I was raised by a really good mother.
