Of course I believe in marriage. Commitment to one other person in life is glorious.

She has a choice. She can either accept a life of misery or she can struggle against it. And she chooses to struggle...she fails in the end but there's something beautiful and even heroic in her rebellion.

Having children just puts the whole world into perspective. Everything else just disappears.

As a woman, especially when you have children, one gets so good at soldiering on - almost too good.

I'm not a period babe. Not at all.

Having just had a baby, I'm not going to be thinking about my arse.

I think I'm developing a kind of subconscious loathing of the word 'franchise.' I just think of something that's packaged, something you can buy on a shelf and is immediately disposable. I don't know. It's a really weird word for me.
