I would have been happy to have waited till I was in my mid- to late-30s before I got married, but you don't choose when these things happen, and when they do, there's no doubt in your mind.

I was brought up in an environment where my parents expressed their financial concerns in front of their children.

My kitchen bench is covered with vitamins and protein powders. I go through phases when I'm sure I'm taking too many - but I don't get sick often.

Enjoy every moment: you never know when things might change.

It's much easier to write when you're sad. But you can end up isolated and depressed because you almost need to put yourself in that situation to have that angst to write from.

I've done a lot of partying in my time because I didn't want to go home and I didn't know what to do.

Ignore reality, there's nothing you can do about it.
