But if you know that something has been really vicious, you don't read it, you don't let it into your head. What's damaging is when sentences go through your head and you burn with the injustice of it.

I think maybe when you live with someone who is really very ill for a long time, it somehow gives you more of a greedy appetite for life and maybe, yes, you are less measured in your behaviour than you would otherwise be.

You don't go around grieving all the time, but the grief is still there and always will be.

Emotion is messy, contradictory... and true.

And cooking is about balance and harmony.

In fact I am quite snappy and irritable, and I don't know if I'd like to make myself worse in that respect.

Anyway, what makes people look youthful is the quality of their skin and I don't think you can change that.
