When you fall in love you recognise you're not the most important person in the world, and your focus becomes another person.

I'm into yoga, I meditate all the time, I'm vegetarian.

After all it changes constantly and incessantly, it's just the perceptions that we have are governed by people with self-interest and are not inalignment with the health and safety of us as individuals or as a planet.

It would have been convenient to be gay. Just because of the grooming, the narcissism, stuff like that. But I have this kind of roaring heterosexuality. Traditional, uncomplicated heterosexuality, an almost cliched Robin Askwith thing.

I really, really love children and I think probably among children is when I feel mostly berated. It's not like I feel like oh, there's some children here. I have to tone it down.

I swear at them, I get more worked up, I say crazy stuff to them, fill their heads with nonsense and then I leave them.
