I always feel that when I come to Edinburgh, in many ways I am coming home.

It would be wonderful to think that the future is unknown and sort of surprising.

Unless we tell stories about ourselves, which is all that theater is, we're in deep trouble.

I mean, language fascinates me anyway, and different words have different energies and you can change the whole drive of a sentence.

It's a complicated thing, knowing how much pain my father caused in my life and the lives of others whom I love, yet still holding love for him in my heart. No matter what he did, he was my father. He helped create the person I am.

I love my mother, my wife, my sisters very much. I honour and respect them. Women are the keepers of the family.

I love to read about healthy eating and preach to my husband, who doesn't listen. Now I'm trying to teach it to my daughters.

My parents themselves had a love marriage.
