I come from a very left wing Socialist family, anti-war and anti-empire.

I have always been attracted to the bleaker aspects of life. I love drama.

Life has changed. People have changed. They are more forgiving, less inclined to rush to judgment. And I have changed.

The nice thing about us lot is that what we do is of no consequence. We don't do things that are important; we spend our lives doing things which are not important. That's what's nice about us, we're not pompous. We never do anything very bad that's gonna change the world. We're not serious, we're butterflies. We live for a day.

I live a very nice life. I have a wonderful time. But it's not lived drawing on a full level. I'm relaxed, cool, and enjoying it.

I am not frightened of much, but I wouldn't like to get ill.

I wish people didn't just think of me in the '60s. I'm not any era.
