"I feel so grateful to have her in my life. And it's the best way to wake up in the morning. It's the best way to go to bed at night. It puts everything into perspective. You know it kind of grounds you, and I'm very lucky to do what I love as a woman, and I'm very lucky to love as a mother, and that's just an absolute gift to get to recognise myself in both of those things beside each other in this moment."
"I'm not a kind of person that's lying around waiting for something to happen. I love life. Like, I need life. I need the world. I need my mind to be engaged and it's so brilliant for it to be engaged in so many capacities at this time. Sometimes it's really tiring. And some mornings I wake up and go 'I do not know who I am or where I am'."
