“For so long I looked so young for my age that it's been quite frustrat...” — Joanna Page Quote

For so long I looked so young for my age that it's been quite frustrating because in my thirties I was still playing 17-year-olds.

My relationship with my parents hasn't changed much as I've grown older. I'm more independent, but still very close to them.

I am a jeans and T-shirt girl - I like 70s flares. I don't make a fuss of my hair or make-up. I buy a lot of make-up because I'm always having ideas about what I am going to do, but I never know how to apply it. Normally, I put on mascara, concealer under my eyes, a bit of peach lipstick and blusher, and that does me.

I have to keep Dune perfume in my dressing room, because I always wear it, but I must never put it on in case it makes me choke.

The most frustrating thing at Villa was the perceived view fans had of me, that certain people at the club painted. That of a mercenary who was happy sitting on the sidelines taking his wages.

I don't want to stand on the sidelines, I have faith in myself, but when you find roles being written to launch a star son, it's frustrating.

I find it easier to write about stuff that is frustrating.

It's frustrating missing any game but when you are away in the summer and then you come back and you are not with the lads for another month or two months, and missing pre-season, it's really tough.
