Scotland was home to me from when I was 12 up until I was 22. I decided to drop my English bit, and when anyone asked where I came from, I always said Scotland. It really shaped the fibres of my being.
Everybody has their own story or they've been shaped by their upbringing, and we have to love them for what that experience created.
I am drawn to the ways in which we are shaped by people and by place.
South Dakota, like a lot of rural states, small states, there are small cities with a very big work ethic, very common sense approach. That has certainly shaped me.
Seattle has shaped me in a lot of ways.
Derby day in Buenos Aires is completely crazy and those sort of experiences have shaped me.
I believe that I definitely developed into a refined and graceful woman due to ballet. It has shaped me in every way.
