The one thing that I appear to have been given, bearing in mind that I am capable of being very, very scatty and extremely lazy, is the ability to concentrate on something I choose to give my time to.

I have a competition in me. I want no one else to succeed. I hate most people.

I still relate to my father very much. I mean, I talk to him in a certain way, as we do talk to the dead.

I love to sit and watch people. I love to sit and listen to people.

I didn't like the idea of being foolish, but I learned pretty soon that it was essential to fail and be foolish.

I feel less often compelled to do the work than I was in the past.

I would like to have children while I've still got the energy. But then I have the feeling that when I have children I'll stop performing in the same way, because you don't really need to perform if you have children.
