Growing up in Wales, there was a lot of fervour about being Welsh. But the more that I travelled, I realised that people aren't always interested in where you're from, but who you are.

You're always going to be more judgmental about your own performance than anyone else.

On a trip to Cabo San Lucas, I was obsessed with Donna Tartt's 'The Secret History.' We were staying at the Esperanza hotel doing all sorts of lovely things, but I couldn't wait to get back to the book at night.

Having kids, you can't function with a hangover.

If I'm on holiday, I travel light, but if it is a work trip, I take everything but the kitchen sink.
