Donna Air

I was always in trouble for chatting. My school reports all used to say, 'Donna is a very bright girl, but she must stop talking in class.' In the end, I made a career out of it. ”

My dad was a mechanical engineer and a drummer. We had no money, but I never felt we had no money, and that's what I remember now, having my own child. I think, 'Oh so what?' Kids don't go around the house seeing what's wrong with it. ”

I've always earned my own money and enjoy being independent. It's how I was brought up. ”

I've always embraced everything and been open-minded about what's ahead. ”

Some people think I can only do fancy; I don't know why. I'm a pretty easy person, really. Low maintenance. I get on with things, and I'm comfortable anywhere. ”

I find it very easy to love because I grew up in such a loving family. ”

My look is relaxed, and while I love fashion, I don't obsess about it. I don't have set rules when it comes to dressing, and I don't mind where my clothes are from. ”

I've been a skinny girl my whole life. I just don't sit down - I'm always on the go. It must be down to the genes. We have a healthy body image in my house and great appetites. It'd be hard for you to find a food I don't love. ”

I like to experiment, and my life has been eventful. ”

My daughter is the funniest person I know, and I couldn't imagine my life without her. ”
