The day that changed my life was 3 July 1986, when I went to see American actress and singer Barbara Cook at London's Donmar Warehouse.

I want to shake things up like 'Bloom County' did.

Losing isn't bitter because it's temporary.

I was in relationship with a guy who was much older than me - either he was past his prime and I was coming into mine. There was nothing I could do to keep his attention.

For me, I always think of the image of sweeping out my footprints as I walk through a scene.

It is a must to believe in one's product.

If you don't scale the mountain, you can't view the plain.
