I was never very happy at school.

I don't think there's ever a right time to have kids. I'm actually pretty glad it's happened quite young.

There is great worth in holding universal truths and timelessly beautiful words in your heart, which will stay there forever, infusing your thoughts and speech.

What was interesting was talking to older gay men about what it was like being gay in the Eighties.
