My whole career has been an act of revenge.

Depressions are very cyclical, they happen once every five years. When I was on TV, yes I was effervescent, you can't fake it. It [depression] comes like the pox.

I'm lucky not to have a nine-to-five job.

You have to be great friends and make each other laugh. We laugh a lot and neither is jealous of the other.

For me mindfulness is like building a house, so the next time the tsunami that is depression comes I'll have a structure in place to resist it.

By the time dessert arrives I am usually so drunk, I can't remember what I'm serving.

Mum used to hide love letters from my boyfriends and put me down. Now I understand that she was a Polish immigrant forced to settle in Chicago. She was jealous of the freedom life gave me.
