I seem to think that anything worth having in life has to be painful to attain.

Marriage still means a lot more in the country I come from than it does here. I don't think there's anything to be gained by it for the couple. But for children I think it's an important thing.

George was the easy part. As for Michael, I had always liked the name, and my father's brother is named Michael. I thought it was a good idea because there are a lot of Greeks in England with the second name of Michael; as a child I had a Greek friend whose second name was Michael. It was like getting the name that I wanted without having to get rid of the Greek element.

I spent years growing up being told what my sexuality was.

I think marriage is a good thing for children, because it gives them a feeling of security.

There's not another drug in life that I'm glad I took but grass.

The word that pisses me off - "prepubescent."
