Cancer didn’t have to be permanent; in my case, I’m lucky that my cancer is curable, but infertility was. And it was the first time I realized that cancer wasn’t just something seasonal; it wasn’t something that was going to pass with the summer. It was something that was going to change my life forever.
I always had the desire to perform. If it wasn’t my career now, I’d still be doing amateur dramatics. It’s just something you love, and when you get paid to do it, you pinch yourself every day.
We never intended to be comedic directors; it was just something we fell into.

I’ve been in the public eye now for about 15 or 16 years, and I’m very aware that fame is not a given. I have to maintain it. It’s not just something that will always be there. But I’ve always been a worker. I’ve never expected be given anything.

Ballet was just something that I always wanted to do.
Over the years I, personally, have had many people come and want me to do reality shows based around the family. That was just something I never considered doing. It’s so much conflict and it’s so invasive into your personal life.
I think that’s one of the first things you’d say if you met me: that I am just nice and smiley. And that’s how I might appear when I’m not competing. But I’m totally different when it comes to sport. It’s just something that seems to be within me. It’s not external or visual. But it’s within me.
I was really into metal when I was growing up. It was just something I thought I could do and wanted to try.
I relish any chance to punch A.J. Styles in the face, because he’s a man I respect greatly. And I find that I want to punch people in the face that I respect greatly. I like to say it’s an island thing, but it’s not: it’ just something that I like doing.
Cool is just something we’ve never been.
For me, ‘Harry Potter’ isn’t something that changed my life. It’s just something I did that was a lot of fun and I got to experience amazing things from. But my actual, personal life is the same. Or at least I like to keep it the same.

Instagram is just something I like to do. I feel it’s the best way to portray who you are.

I just have this thing in my head that I want to do serious stories that are still just way too cute and drawn in a really cute, appealing, rounded, childish way, and it’s like, I don’t know if it makes sense – but it’s just something I’m really strongly compelled to do.
There’s just something so special about ‘God Made Girls.’ It comes from a girl’s perspective, and there’s nothing like that on radio right now, and so I think that’s what made us able to pick that song as a single.
I make 18 three-footers after every round. It’s just something that helps me focus on routine, and helps me hear the ball go in the hole. It’s something I do every day.
Being outspoken about my faith isn’t just something that I do; it’s who I am because my faith isn’t just a little piece of my life. It is my life. It’s not a question of whether I’m outspoken about it or not. I’m definitely not ashamed of it.

I always loved singing, but I thought it was like drawing – just something you do in your own little corner to calm yourself down. But when my friend, the French songwriter Etienne Daho, listened to my songs, he was so moved that told me that I had to do a demo, share them with the world.
