I was always drawing eyes, even as a child. Eyes fascinated me.

Being born with a pair of beady eyes was the best thing that ever happened to me.

When I was a young girl, I wasn't always trying to have curly hair.

As a kid, I was a dancer in Dick Whittington, Snow White and Cinderella. When I was 14, I played Baby Bear. I had a big head on, and you couldn't see my face. My mum was very disappointed.

I dreamed really big when I was little.

One of my first dreams when I was a child was becoming a painter.

I basically was a precocious little kid.

Hair excited me. As the old ways - backcombing, rollers and rigidity - went out of the window, I started to feel the possibilities in front of my eyes.

I really had a lot of dreams when I was a kid, and I think a great deal of that grew out of the fact that I had a chance to read a lot.

I felt highly anxious in a way that I didn't think other children were.
