“If I could give one piece of advice, it would be 'If you're angry with...” — Deborah Raney Quote

If I could give one piece of advice, it would be 'If you're angry with a family member, talk to God about it, not the other members of your family.'

I think the simplest advice I could give would be to wait until asked before giving advice.

I'm a very girlie girl, but I often find the heroes of my books trying to take over the story. In truth, I enjoy writing the male point of view more than any other.

I always struggle with making the technical aspects of the plot fit with the story that's unfolding in my imagination.

I would love to be bilingual. I think having a second or third language at my bidding would open up the world in amazing ways.

One player who gives me a lot of advice at Real is Pepe. He's taught me never to give up. He always gives 100 per cent on the pitch and he tries to instil that winning mentality in me.

If you find it difficult to draw a neat line with an eyeliner pencil, start with a big, thick, wonky line and then reduce it with eye makeup remover. This is serious advice. I do this every single time I put makeup on.

The advice I would've given my younger self is, 'Be patient; just hold on.'

So my advice is to always choose something simpler - an expressive outfit, plus a hat, can be frightening.
