Other than my memory being a bit woolly and my knees being a bit creaky, I don't really think there's anything I can't do.
What was I thinking? Fact is I wasn't thinking. I didn't want to think. I wanted to feel.
I think of myself now as a writer, although I wouldn't go as far as to say 'novelist' because that sounds like a Victorian person.
Why would anyone want to be called a size zero or even aspire to being a zero? I don't even understand the thinking behind it, let alone the practicalities. What is all that about?
I do think you are supposed to go through wars with your child because otherwise the tearing apart that has to happen when they go off to lead their own life would be unbearable.
I'd like to play a horse, many people think I already have. Either end of the horse would be fine.
Evolving into a middle-aged person is quite interesting if we can understand what it means. I would like to think it meant being a bit sure of what I want.
The theatre is one of those muscles - if you don't exercise it, it becomes a strange and truly fearful place.
There is a latent fairy in all women, but look how carefully we have to secrete her in order to be taken seriously. And fairies come in all shapes, colours, sizes and types, they don't have to be fluffy. They can be demanding and furious if hey like. They do, however, have to wear a tiara. That much is compulsory.
I'm known among my friends for saying things I probably shouldn't sometimes, but I have to get things out in the air.
That's the weird thing about not being married - you can't get regular kissing; you can't be guaranteed of it, and that's a great shame.
I watch schlock telly. Like the 'Kardashians.' I love it. It's my guilty pleasure.
I've never disliked myself, and my weight has had nothing to do with my self-esteem.
My best friend is the most important girl, outside of family, to me. I met her when I went to college and we bonded immediately. I'd do anything for her at any time. We phone each other every day.
