I Don't Put The Pressure On Myself

I See A Wiser Person Than When I Was Younger: Having Babies, And Passing 30, Were The Turning Points. What Women In Their 40s - I Am 39 - Lack In Gorgeousness, They Make Up For In Wisdom. I Love Ageing, Despite The Drawbacks - Thinner, Drier Skin.

Having Children Is Life-changing, To State The Obvious. It's A Gigantic Shift In Your Life And I Welcomed It.

I've Been Fortunate Not To Have Been Pigeonholed By Virtue Of Being Mixed-race, Of Being English And Black, And By Virtue Of Working All Over The World. I've Enjoyed A Great Degree Of Variety In The Work That I've Done. It's Been Quite Unique.

If I Could Change My Appearance, I Would Have The Gap Between My Front Teeth Put Back In.

Then I Became A Mother And It Just Fills Every Space, That Isn't Filled With Something Else Important. It's Just Like This Incredible Balloon That Blows Up And Fills Life Up.
