I learnt to stop fantasising about the perfect job or the perfect relationship because that can actually be an excuse for not living.

Laughter is an important part of a good relationship.

Women often have a fraught relationship with their mothers, even though that's the most important relationship in their lives.

I don't think that much about my relationship with my mother and what it did to me. I sometimes feel terrible regret about her, what her life must have been like. Often, when I'm enjoying something, I think of how meager her rewards were and how much courage, in a way, she needed to go on living.

And there's a safety in that.

I'm definitely one of those chicks who want to be in a relationship. I need somebody who can make me laugh and entertain me.

No one can tell you what to expect or can offer a guide to grief. Because every relationship is so unique, no two people grieve the same way. And you have no idea how you are going to grieve till you are grieving.

I have no problem with it. I don't look on homosexuality as an aberration. It's just they way they're born, and how could any relationship between two people in a committed relationship be wrong, regardless of gender?

To some extent, the idea that rock 'n roll used to have this sort of free antediluvian identity, frolicking in the 1950s with Elvis or something, is totally wrong. It's insane.
