I love Australian people. ”

I've learnt that if I tell myself I'm not allowed something, I binge on it later. So if I want chocolate, I have chocolate. If I want biscuits, I have biscuits. I love cake. I just love cake. ”

I have the most ridiculous TV crush on Michael McIntyre. I fell in love watching him on 'Britain's Got Talent'. ”

I've been all sorts of different shapes and sizes at different times in my life. ”

I'm always coming up against scepticism in my life. ”

The truth sets you free. It's a very liberating thing, when you say this is who I am warts and all and then you can just get on with life. It's amazing. ”

I have a history of eating disorders but, as a mother, you think of being an example to your child. I'm so much more balanced than I was. ”

The thing is, when I feel like I have to lose weight, the opposite happens. I remember stuffing loads of chocolate on the plane to the shoot, and I thought, 'Why don't you have the courage to show up in a body that's natural, not overly worked out?' ”

I do get scared, but I think - like it says in another book I've read - feel the fear and do it anyway. I try to have courage, pray a little bit and work through it. I'd rather try, even if I fail. ”

I don't know what I'm doing, but I'm damn well gonna do it! ”
