Not being at peace with myself, in spite of an ongoing lifetime effort to try to calm down and accept that, no matter what, I did the best I could.
Things I said in interviews.
Coffee, which is why I’ve given it up.
The climate catastrophe.
Hop-picking in Kent when I was 13. The smell was dreadful, and put me off beer for life.
A hydrogen-powered private jet for me and my dog. We’d be zero carbon dioxide emissions, so could go anywhere we liked.
Camping with my parents in the south of France. We went every year with the beautiful bell tent they made on a sewing machine. We even had a lavatory tent which was fabulous except, one day, it blew away with my father in it.
Raising awareness of ethical and environmental issues in the clothing industry. I think I was the original whistleblower within fashion.
Boarding school. It was horrible.
To my parents, for being such a bitch.
