" My mum used to wear the guys' Chesty Bonds tanks, and I used to end up wearing them after she'd finish with them. She's a painter, and they would be covered in paint splatters. She would wear them and wear them until they were super-soft, and then I'd get them. But I was just a kid, so they were like a dress on me. "

" The person I am every single day is the person that's growing and getting better. The more people look up to me, the more important it is to be concise with what message I want to leave.
