children thinking years
I'd love to have more children. If I'm still clear after five years, I'll think again.
thinking people decision
I think people are frightened of women making big decisions.
love-life thinking sometimes
I love life. I think it's fantastic. Sometimes it deals hard things, and when it deals great things, you have to seize them.
mother baby sorry
Sorry, there's nothing like a screaming baby to make a mother twitch.
jobs cancer missions
I took on cancer like I take on everything - like a mission and a job to accomplish.

I've always lived my life fearlessly, and what I want to do with my life, I do.
people age actors
Daniel Day-Lewis is one of the greatest actors of our age; he's like Olivier. He's one of those people who can take you into a place where no one else can take you.
artist psychosis two
I often joke that I straddle psychosis and neurosis, and that being an artist keeps me in the middle, so I can work between the two.
people decision made
I've made lots of big decisions in my life that have shocked people.
people opinion should
In my life, I've never really listened to when people start forming opinions on how you should be doing things.
love heart thinking
People in love don't see gender, colour or religion. Or age. It's about the other person, the one that you love and who loves you. You don't think of them in terms of a label. You just go with your heart.
body want moments
I find that I put my body in my work when I am at a particularly difficult or joyous point because I want to feel that moment.
country karaoke another-life
I love karaoke. I love maudlin country ballads. In another life, I'd be Loretta Lynn.
art morning new-york
I feel the art world in New York has a stronger following than Britain. If you go to a New York art district on a Saturday morning, it will be so busy with families and openings - art is much more ingrained in the culture.
