I wouldn't say that I've mellowed. I'm less mellow, perhaps.
I was never much of a one to win prizes... and certainly never placed too much value on their acquisition.
I'm from a working-class background, and I've experienced that worry of not having a job next week because the unions are going on strike.
I love to be individual, to step beyond gender.
I have always felt a little homeless. It's a strange thing.
Such is the scale and depth of poverty in many parts of the world that it won't be ended overnight. That is why if, like me, you want to see an end to poverty, you need to be in it for the long haul.
