Gordon Ramsay makes me laugh because he knows that I'm not a chef.
It sounds like something on a very trite T-shirt, but life is what happens.
(In cooking), there is always room for careful tinkering.
There is a kind of euphoria of grief, a degree of madness.
Also, in a funny way, if you have been happily married there are no unresolved areas, nothing to prove to yourself after the other dies.
I wasn't good with authority, went to lots of schools, didn't like the fact that there was no autonomy.
And, in a funny way, each death is different and you mourn each death differently and each death brings back the death you mourned earlier and you get into a bit of a pile-up.
I am determined that my children should have no financial security. It ruins people not having to earn money,
While I am sure there are a number of women who secretly wonder whether they are lesbian, most simply have, somewhere, a fantasy about having sex, in a non-defining, non-exclusive way, with other women.
On the whole, I prefer Christmas as an adult than I did as a child.
I'm not someone who's endlessly patient and wonderful.
I was a quiet teenager, introverted, full of angst.
It s easier to impress someone than to give them pleasure.
I took a fortnight off. But I'm not a great believer in breaks. I don't want to be rattling around inside my own head. I did feel I was spiralling into a Kathy Burke character and tried going out, but I prefer it here. Filming keeps me busy. It absorbs me.
