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 once asked my father what he wanted me to be. To my horror, he said, 'sociologist.'

I never saw myself as beautiful. I can look back and see it now, but then? Never.

I went to the big Picasso retrospective at the Tate in the sixties, and I think I went to an Andy Warhol retrospective at the Tate in the sixties, too. My mother was very good at taking me to things like that. We lived in Reading, but we went on these cultural trips to London.

I'm having a great life, and I want to go on having one.

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

I'm a Capricorn, and they flower late.
