I'm the one by the backdoor - I am not the one in the middle of the party.

But as far as my work is concerned, I see no impediment, and various advantages, to being deaf.

Nothing is going to improve my hearing. I've only got to prevent it from getting worse.

I'm lucky that most of the time I'm on location in amazing places. Most of the time, I don't need holidays, I just stop working.

I'm the one by the backdoor - I am not the one in the middle of the party.

People keep asking me if I'll marry again. It's as if after you've had one car crash you want another.

I think the deafness affects me more than I realise I think it makes me more tired. I loathe parties. I attend, smile and leave.
