• Quotes

  1. "I hate this image of me as a prim Edwardian. I want to shock everyone."
  2. "People say, "You're still breast-feeding, that's so generous". Generous, no! It gives me boobs and it takes my thighs away! It's sort of like natural liposuction. I'd carry on breast-feeding for the rest of my life if I could."
