The problem is, and I’m just as guilty of this, a lot of people see their follower count increase and mistake that for friendships.

I lost count of how many times photographers and designers would tell me to lose a bit of weight, especially as I got a little older and my body started to develop.

Yeah, I think it motivates you as people start to count you out.

For me, I tend to sit back sometimes and just count my blessings because of how long I’ve played.

It’s all about good scripts and roles that count. The language barrier does not make any difference for me.

Minimalism? It is something I appreciate as an art form but leave to others – unless you count a collection of warhorse-workwear Yves Saint Laurent trouser suits.

I work a lot with blind people in my spare time outside of Unilever, and I count my blessings every day.

When I was a model at 15, I was eating one red pepper a day, and if I had a big day of castings, I would survive off a bag of Haribo, which gave me the 500 calories a day that would keep me alive.

I’ve lost count of the number of websites that try to ‘out’ every Muslim in public life as an extremist or Islamist of some shape or form.

Love is a component of many different things – the baggage you bring, the moment, what you need in your life, seeing someone as a portal for understanding everything, and all the intensity that brings. It’s not something to count on and act like it’s a stable thing.
