So often people say something and you realise you haven't really heard it.

You grow up by making mistakes. I've made a ton of them, but as long as I keep on failing better, I don't mind.

And whatever my weight, I've always been skinny from the waist up.

The early part of my career I really struggled, getting turned down again and again. I was in debt, and it was horrible. And then my family hit such highs in their careers, I asked myself what I was thinking going into the same profession.

I care so much less, now, about going up the ladder; if I cared about the ladder I would be doing it all very wrong.

I think work really is a life saver, because it carries you forward, which is good.

My mother, for the last 20 years anyway, would not call herself a Marxist but a human rights activist.
