Sometimes you have to abandon your own children for other children.

My mother answers all my fan mail.

My father's mother was from Liverpool and she had this very beautiful English china. I only wanted to drink my cocoa out of my grandmother's cup and saucer.

I could have a job as a teacher because I like talking in front of people.

My introduction to photography and a lot of how I developed aesthetically was through '50s and early-'60s fashion magazines like Harper's Bazaar and Vogue.

All the traumas I went through separating art from writing don't exist anymore. That's why I love being in rock 'n' roll. It's a whole life thing.

I loved books; I read my childhood away. I was more interested in my interior world.
