I wish I could be hard and cynical. That I could take things slowly, not give too much of myself, because I'd be so frightened of getting hurt that there wouldn't be any other way. But no. every time I meet someone I dive in headfirst, showering them with love and attention, and hoping that this time they're going to be different.

I think relationships are very difficult. It's very easy to get swept away with excitement, glamour, and passion. I think the trick is to look for friendship rather than passion.

That's how it is with relationships, it's a part of life, and all the great love songs and poems and films have been written by people who were standing where I was that morning as Simon shut the door. Doesn't make it any easier though.

Anyone can live in a house, but homes are created with patience, time and love.

And then there was him, the long and painful love of her life.

Whether you are inspired or not, the only way to unlock your creativity, is to start writing.

Fantasies are absolutely safe, as long as you never try to make them a reality.
