I first had a version of this at a Japanese monastery during a silent retreat-don't ask, it's a long story.

Gwyneth PaltrowI remember when I was maybe 27 years old and kind of at the height of my movie stardom - it was around the time of the Oscar and this and that. I think I was very much believing my own hype, which how could you not? I was sitting with my dad, feeling great about my life and everything that was happening, and he was like, "You know, you're getting a little weird...You're kind of an asshole." And I was like, "What the hell?" I was totally devastated. But it turned out to be basically the best thing that ever happened to me.

It means we can go on the Tube into the centre of London because it's quicker and more fun for the kids. We can do normal things.
