I'm always reading many books at a time. It might be quite unorthodox, but what I do is, since I'm always surrounded with books, I'll read a page of physics, and then I'll read a chapter of a novel that I really love, and then I'll say, "Oh well, what does that mixture do in my head?" I adore reference books. I love encyclopedias. I also like just going back to original texts, because a lot of these self-help books today.

I don't do event dressing, because every day is an event.

If you go into a relationship when you're 16, you've got no baggage.

I play piano and I sing. But I do that for fun. I mean, I do everything for fun.

I don't dress for effect, and I think that it never works out when someone does.

I hate the idea of making any of my children into a mini-me. That would be terrible.

My basic mathematics is rather weak, so when some of the theories are broken into equations, I get rather lost.
