I've struggled so much, growing up, with just feeling that my life is valid because it's not filled with these hyper-dramatic moments, and I think a lot of people of my generation feel that way. We're so inundated with hyper-drama that people crave everyday life.

I feel like that's so ingrained in so many children that you are so confined and repressed growing up that, anything you do, you have to rebel against it at some point.

I was a pretty alert kid, and I, you know, I was very interested in arts.

I was very angsty from a very young age. The way people start acting when they're 15, I started being at 8.

I am for peace, retrenchment and reform, the watchword of the great Liberal Party thirty years ago.

We have such a great depth of human history in all of the arts, whether it's opera or mathematics or painting or classical music or jazz. There's so many things to study, new books to read, and certainly always ways to transform old ideas and to come up with new ones.

Every married man who wants peace in the relationship, should learn the trick to avoid that one question - 'How is the food?'

I'd stand on the side of the road when I was just a little girl singing on trash cans. People would roll down their windows saying, 'Isn't she cute'. I had a vivid imagination. I always pretended it was some big stage.
