Every time I go on a plane I feel awful about it. So for me, and everyone in the world, being able to board an electric plane would be really cool.

Question When were you most embarrassed? Failure & regret

When I was 17, my friends and I threw a fashion show for a breast cancer charity. Breast cancer is something my mum went through when I was 14, so prevention is very close to my heart. Our singer, who was performing during the fashion show, dropped out at the last minute so I had to step in. It’s on video, and my sister always brings it up.
