My most marked characteristic?! Well now I couldn’t possibly say but maybe that I am able to look like a 12 year old innocent little girl and an evil 100 year old witch in the space of a short second in a photo. Does that sentence make sense? I’m making up my own rules here.

What is your motto?

My motto??!! Oh god. Erm. I’m stealing my motto from Rumi:
