Waiting to be 'better' is the wrong approach. It's learning to live with it.

I've been so showered in life, beyond my wildest dreams, such as having a loving partner I never thought I'd have.

As you know, I don't believe in fear, just an invention by men so they get all the money and good jobs.

I think denial's fascinating. It's a jokey word, but it really happens, and sometimes in enormous ways.

Hen nights should be banned. You're honour-bound to behave atrociously, then feel terribly ashamed afterwards. (This Charming Man)

I used to write in bed, starting when I woke up. I believe that creative work comes from our subconscious mind, so I try to keep the gap between sleep and writing as minimal as possible.

People get sick and sometimes they get better and sometimes they don't. And it doesn't matter if the sickness is cancer or if it's depression. Sometimes the drugs work and sometimes they don't. Sometimes the drugs work for a while and then they stop. Sometimes the alternative stuff works and sometimes it doesn't. And sometimes you wonder if no outside interference makes any difference at all; if an illness is like a storm, if it simply has to run its course and, at the end of it, depending on how robust you are, you will be alive. Or you will be dead.
