"When I was growing up, I was always much closer to my mother. Dad's a bit of a loner. He was always going off and reading books. But when I went through... what I went through... I found out who my father was. There comes a time when you're a daughter, that you suddenly need your father. And when you reach out for your father and he's there for you, well, that's a very special thing."My father really stood by me at a tough time. He was strong and dignified, and I'm very grateful that I do have a good father, because, having him there with me at that time, put me in good stead for carrying on with my life and learning to trust again. My father has a very strong Catholic faith, and I have never, ever heard him swear... He has a strong set of values, and he has passed his Catholicism on to my sister and me, but when he gives advice it's mostly based on being a good person, being tolerant, and doing unto others what you would wish them to do to you."
