I'm a very recent convert to the gay scene. I went to a party a couple of years ago and met a very nice man who took me under his wing and started taking me out to clubs. It was a revelation.

I don't expect to be thin, but I'd like to feel a bit healthier.

What fun is life without a bit of showing off?

But we did see the process develop. I remember going to the Rocket Pictures base and they had something like 40 people there, drawing. They didn't know what the characters looked like yet and I remember on the walls seeing 30 or 40 different versions of Juliet. So, it was then that I realised that someone's got to come in and make some really executive decisions.

You have to get rid of characters to make room for new ones, but you also have to recognize when things are done.

I finally learned to love myself by dressing up as Geri Halliwell.

Keep yourself busy if you want to avoid depression. For me, inactivity is the enemy.
