"I have received some racist abuse, but you will never see me fighting back or being aggressive on Twitter. When I do reply, I try to be as kind as possible in order to change these people's opinions.

I am constantly checking what I am saying and reigning in my anger. And, I never go on Twitter when I am drunk."
