“I still get completely shocked that anyone knows who I am.” I ask if she would prefer to do what she does without having to be famous. “Yeah, I would,” she replies.

“I wouldn’t say I grew up politically minded, but the older I get, the more in touch I am with what activists are doing—and the more I want to help them.”

“I feel most at home and at peace when I’m in the country. Though I like being in London too,” she adds. “There’s an anonymity. You can disappear into the human flow.”

“I just get so anxious whenever I watch anything that I’m in … I’m fine with the way I look now, but I wouldn’t necessarily be looking at photographs of myself all day”.
