Words for life

Picture What is your motto for life? Question sent in by Julie Martis

Hi Julie Martis - hallo sweetie. My motto for life, that's a tricky one.

One of the hardest things, that I still to this day don't have command of, is in a saying, "What other people think of me is none of my business." Just think about that. It's really hard.

It's so easy to buy into what other people think of you at school, what other people think of you at university, listening to the gossip, especially as an actor, reading things about yourself. Thankfully I've always been really lucky, and the press has been very kind, and they haven't said anything horrible ever, ever, but you do hear gossip about yourself, and it's really painful. But even in everyday life, it's the hardest thing to muster.

There's that one, and then this is really my favourite - "Nothing is impossible". I know it's corny, but it's true. A lot of people ask me advice, which is really nice, because I like to think I'm a bit of a mum, and I don't have kids, so you're all my kids [the fans]. So it puts a smile on my face.

People always say, "I don't know what to do, and I don't know how to attain what it is that I want to attain," and I just keep saying to them, "just keep remembering that nothing's impossible." You can actually do whatever you want to do.

Even if you're not doing any math or science at school, if you want to be a doctor, you can. You just have to study, that's all. But it's not impossible, you can do it. Alright? Good.
