:02:13. > :02:18.mum and sister would never have spoken to me again. More than
:02:19. > :02:22.anything, it is that I have always been very driven by challenges and
:02:23. > :02:26.buy things that frighten me. How good is your dancing?
:02:27. > :02:32.Well, I don't really know. I have never really danced. I could get
