Mind the gap - it's the distance between life as you dream it and life as it is.

I went through a mod and goth-phase when I decided that I wouldn't ever be the bronzed beach-bunny. I started going as pale as I possibly could.

That's definitely true! It was before my father died, so I can't attribute it to an obsession with death. When I was seven, I loved those old Sherlock Holmes movies with Basil Rathbone. The Scarlet Claw was one of my faves. And I loved all the Halloween's and that film about the haunted house... Burnt Offerings, with Oliver Reed. Every birthday party was a slumber party and we'd watch horror films.

Everyone gets obsessed with anti-aging but I'd rather look as good as I can at the age I am.

Sometimes I think it's so good not to win those things. And, anyway, who wants to peak when they're 28?

I'm a horrible person. And it's just coming out in my work.

For me, I think the bigger something is, the more difficult it is to make it nimble and fleet afoot.
