Oh, I love tea. I have to take tea bags wherever I go.

Switch off reality TV! I've only ever been able watch about 30 seconds of it.
felt sort
I've always been more slight, and I've always sort of felt that I needed to be protected, especially with so many rowdy brothers and sisters.

From 1989 to 2000, I was focusing in on my children. I hadn't realized the world had changed a lot. AIDS had happened, for starters, and so many people in the arts died or were affected.

Life is full of banana skins. You slip, you carry on.
thinking mad world
I think the world's just gone completely mad, with everyone wearing the same things, even celebrities.
