Any film I see at two o'clock in afternoon with my mother seems to cast a strange spell that means we both come out sobbing.

I don't know why people keep banging on about the '60s. I was very conventional because I came from a conventional family and I didn't go off with different people - I rather wish I had now, seeing all the fun everyone else was having.
