Occasionally the state of the planet can knock me off my perky perch.

I don't think you should have to try to be nice, I think most people are nice. I think being cheerful and nice is just a politeness.

Forty freaked me out. I didn't see it coming. My life was in a state of chaos - I was moving jobs and moving house - and it just hit me like a ton of bricks.

All these people I interview are worth ten times what I'm worth.
