I like men. They are hugely entertaining, but they have a lot of shortcomings and you just have to bear those in mind.

By crying on my bed, drinking quite a lot and feeling tempted by drugs. Well, just not reading it to be perfectly honest with you. I know it's a bit of a copout.

I swam at school a lot. Long-distance swimming in pools, and diving, then when we moved to Hastings when I was 13 I used to swim in the sea all the time; I loved it out of season and when it was rough.

I like to shock people.

School was great. There were no boys there, which didn't really bother me at the time because I had two brothers, so I was quite pleased not to spend any more time with boys.

It's got too much hard work slapping them and telling them to shut up.

I read that book Fat is a Feminist issue, got a bit desperate halfway through and ate it.
