Comments on her body:
- 'I have a straight figure. I am not an hourglass at all.'
- I am not sure where my waist starts and my hips finish.
- 'My boyfriend always says he is not sure if he is with an
animal, a child or a woman.
- I am petite so people think I am fragile.
comments on her hair:
- People always ask if I dye my hair black because it is so
dark, but no it really is this colour.
- Five years ago I had very short hair and I dyed it blue, but
it was a bad experiment.
- My hair is so long and thick that washing is an achievement
in itself.
- I am lazy so I have my hair washed.
- I think I'll have it until I am 30. Long hair after 30 is a
bit spooky
Comments on her skin and why
she never wears make-up at home:
- I have a dry skin and have to moisturise a lot
- I never wear make-up at home. It is nice for your skin to
breathe and if you get used to seeing yourself with definition
all the time you never know what you look like naturally.
Comments on clothes and
fashion:
- I don't like wearing lots of clothes.
- Clothes are there to make the wearer look and feel as good
as possible. Therefore, clothes have to be cut and fit beautifully.
Comments on her physical
violin play:
- My teachers told me to contort my face slightly to make the
music look more difficult, but I don't find this look
attractive and relaxing.
- You should make it look as serene as possible.
