Personal Quotes

"For me, radio is a dangerous medium because it's live and I can't take back what I've said. When you're new and you're on air you're so caught up and nervous you don't think before you speak. You just want to get it over with and all of asudden it's like 'Oh shit!' When I first started I said things on air that made people angry. It's my fault but radio has taught me to think before I talk and be more tactful when sifting through information before mouthing it on air"

"They didn't tell me I was leaving, and I only found out when I read the script while filming the episode. They told me I could come back again but I said I didn't want to" - on being forced off TV show 'Growing Up'

"I don't make a point of reading press stories about me. If it's like an opinion poll on whether I am honest or a slut, bimbo, airhead or whatever I won't read it. I get disturbed and think 'people think that of me?' But it's very fleeting and I'll soon forget about it."
