high-heels painful heels
Why do we wear them? They're so painful.
christian children greek
Children are much more understanding of the suddenness and arbitrariness of death than we are. The old fairy tales contain a lot of that, and we've stolen from them, just as they stole from Greek myth, which has that same mixture of pre-Christian chaos.
thinking ideas form
We have to reinvest, I think, in the idea of articulacy as a form of personal human freedom and power.
girlfriend grateful london
Girlfriends are vital ... Maggie [Gyllenhaal] and I will always see each other when Maggie's in London or I'm here. We'll always make time to sit and catch up properly.
people littles london
London has always been a haven for victims of cruelty, and been improved by them. Yet I can see it changing now. Outsiders are demonised, there are little bits of legislation, people are scared.
birthday broken-heart grief
If you've got to my age, you've probably had your heart broken many times. So it's not that difficult to unpack a bit of grief from some little corner of your heart and cry over it.
typical bottles film
I have a nervous breakdown in the film and in one scene I get to stand at the top of the stairs waving an empty sherry bottle which is, of course, a typical scene from my daily life, so isn't much of a stretch.

If you're actually allowing your creative part to control your writing rather than a more commercial instinct or motive, then you'll find that all sorts of interesting things will bubble up to the surface.

A lot of very beautiful women can be a pain because all they're thinking about is how they look.
daughter mother husband
When husbands and fathers leave, their wives and daughters tend to value themselves less as a result.
motherhood thinking best-effort
I do think that despite my best efforts to resist it, I am now a grown-up. It's due to lots of very difficult decisions that you make over a long period of time - about motherhood, wifehood, and work, and all the things that one has to make decisions about.
children animal thinking
There is that thing about not working with animals and children - I don't think that's true. Although you should never work with donkeys.
sex communication fighting
We need men and women to sit down and talk to each other about sex honestly and openly. That would help us fight Aids so immediately. But our lack of communication is hugely problematic.
reflection worry shapes
Constantly worrying about your reflection and criticizing your body, shape and size is an act of violence against yourself.
