Motherhood was the great equaliser for me; I started to identify with everybody.

Dying is easy, it's living that scares me to death.

I want to branch out. I want to write. I write poetry. I want to see my children grow up well.

I am fascinated by history and particularly the Victorian era.

It's hard to tell how far women's individuality has come in the past twenty years.

I think music is the most phenomenal platform for intellectual thought.

I used to be obsessed about how I presented myself. I didn't want other people dressing me because I didn't want to be treated like a clothes horse.
