I've achieved everything I've wanted to achieve, so I'm not scared of failure. I never gave up, however bad the injuries got.

Everything is not beautiful at the ballet. It's tough.

I've always been quite conscious of it, though I don't know why. I would never overspend, and I have to know exactly what I've got so that I avoid going into overdraft. I watch my pennies, and I'm quite thrifty.

Ever since I've given up dancing, every physiotherapist or Pilates teacher has said you have to keep moving. If I don't, I'll have a hundred times more injuries because you get weak areas on your body.

I was incredibly supple and did gymnastics as well. So half of my injuries are because I am over-supple and the joints could always go that little bit further. But I was happy to push, and I have no regrets. That is important to say.

I've got that personality where I've always been determined. As a dancer, I was constantly improving and perfecting. I guess it's innate.
