Celebrity culture is something that pains me.

The parents' job is to be there for their kids, not the other way round. Troubles between parents need to be talked through with friends and not visited on the children.

There is no such thing as a neutral therapist.

I think it is one of the capacities of human beings, to create style.

Mothers unconsciously allow more latitude to sons, and open encouragement, and with daughters they treat them as they would treat themselves.

I thought of the analyst Winnicott's observation: 'It is a joy to be hidden but disaster not to be found'.

Beauty has been democratised. No longer the preserve of movie stars and models but available to all. But while the invitation to beauty is welcomed, it has become not so much an option as an imperative.
