7. I always listen to Let It Go from Frozen before job interviews, and so far it's worked a charm.

8. During uni, we stole a bunch of bricks that were lying around outside and used them to build a platform in our living room. We placed one sofa on top of the platform and the other on the ground in front of it. Boom: tiered sofas.

9. Growing up, my dad would fashion my duvets into mountain ranges and set me up with all my dinosaur toys to get me started on the epic adventures which would keep me entertained for hours.

10. I first realised I was okay at creative writing in year three when my teacher told the class that I'd got the highest mark for my story about a lizard who fell in love with the sun. I actually looked behind me, thinking she was speaking to somebody else.

11. I didn't go to the majority of my uni lectures because I was so insecure about my body.

12. I didn't think I was smart enough to go to uni, so my plan for several months was to try and be one of those people who sells fruit on the beach in Mexico.

13. I used to bring in presents for other kids on my birthday, but we didn't have much money. One year, I bought everyone a bouncy ball. Some super-rich asshole girl sneered that it was a shit present and I should have got her something better, so now I don't do that anymore.

14. I had my first 'boyfriend' when I was nine. I brought a photo of him to school and got marshmallow on his nose, and for Christmas I bought him a portable fan. For Valentines, he drew an eye, a heart and a German U-Boat in my card.
