Celebrity culture is something that pains me.

Consumer society tantalises us. We then try within ourselves to control the needs that are being constantly stimulated.

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

There is no such thing as a neutral therapist.

I'd like to see much more understanding of emotional issues around hurt, abandonment, disappointment, longing, failure and shame, where they stem from and how they drive people and policies brought into public discourse.

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.

We accept there's an emotional aspect to life. But we're not very developed in our ways of understanding it.
