I do think girls in their twenties accept certain kinds of lesser treatment than they would at other times in their lives.
In my twenties, I was virulently opposed to anyone commenting on my appearance, lest it come at the expense of my ability.
When I was in my twenties, it felt like I was riding wild horses, and I was hoping I didn’t go over a cliff.
I think, for the majority of my twenties, I was always so concerned with what I didn’t have, or what I still wanted.
My twenties were tumultuous at best… I think.
I think I did a lot of really stupid stuff really quickly in my twenties and that sort of led me to want to sort of just relax a little bit. Relax a lot.
I lived my twenties in a very public manner and if anyone’s twenties are documented it’s not always going to be pretty.
It took me a long time to make that leap to being a grown-up and responsible adult because I carried on being a child actor into my late twenties. It’s OK to be precocious when you’re young, but when you’re a man of about 27 or 28 and playing a 17-year-old in a TV show, it kind of prolongs your childhood.
My weight fluctuates, and I haven’t always been skinny. I became curvier in my twenties, but I never felt self-conscious about it; going through different periods is all part of being a woman.

I like getting older. When you’re in your twenties you’re really forging for your future. Things take shape later on.
I should be more vocal about the things I believe are doing us harm, but many years ago in my early twenties, I learned a bit of a lesson. I started to realise at that time the benefits of eating healthy food and drink.
In my early twenties, that’s when I really began to write. Before that, I was too busy working, keeping myself going.
Life experiences can, at times, be quite humbling, but you learn from them. But I like the changes in my life and what kind of person they’ve made me into. I’m very open, not as judgmental as I was in my twenties, and a lot more compassionate.
