Snobbery just inhibits you.

I am not famous at all.

I felt giving birth was the most creative act of all my creative acts - literally creation!

A lot of children remember seeing cartoons, 'Pinocchio' or 'Bambi' or something that breaks their heart. I remember seeing 'The Blue Angel' and it breaking my heart. It was the first time I realised there was an adult world - that adults could damage each other or destroy each other emotionally.

I remember as a kid not ever wanting to have friends around to my house because it was, for want of a better description, disheveled.

I never thought of having cancer as something that was unfair. I just braced myself and tried to get through it.

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.

Having children is exciting. Life puts the past into perspective.

I've made lots of big decisions in my life that have shocked people.

I'm good at keeping secrets.
