I've always been profoundly ambivalent about fame. I think it just eats the reality out of you and it can be intoxicating because I like some of it.

Twins are a high-risk pregnancy, by definition. The quieter I am, the longer I can keep them growing.

I spent an awful lot of my life underestimating myself and, as a result, not exceeding my own expectations.

I've always had a lot of ambivalence about fame and celebrity.

My parents had an experience of life that is as opposite to mine as you can imagine.
