I am stuck at 10 years old. I think.
It was wrong to capture wild animals and confine them in captivity for people to go and gawk at them. And that’s basically how zoos got started.

Two wide men stuck out wide leave you very open in midfield, but it’s a strength as well. Going forward, it makes you pretty dangerous to anyone.
My mom always instilled in me that it was braver to ask for help when you need it. That has absolutely stuck with me over the years but became even more important in practice once I became a mother. It may sound trite, but the concept of ‘it takes a village’ really could not be more true.

The film I do doesn’t have to be a film that only my kids can watch. My kids will watch films, but I will decide what they watch and not.
