I need to be frightened of things. I hate it, but I must need it, because it's what I do.

(In cooking), there is always room for careful tinkering.

I am not a chef. I am not even a trained or professional cook. My qualification is as an eater.

And, in a funny way, each death is different and you mourn each death differently and each death brings back the death you mourned earlier and you get into a bit of a pile-up.

I don't like conflict.

At some stages of your life you will deal with things and at others you are overwhelmed with misery and anxiety.

I do think awful things may happen at any moment, so while they are not happening, you may as well be pleased.
