In Any War, There Is A Concealment

I Have No Time For The Endless Nostalgia: 'oh Gosh I Used To . . . ' Life Is Too Short; I Don't Have Any Time For Sitting And Saying I Miss Things. What's The Point? Go And Do Something Else.'

Having Had Loving People Who Brought Me Up, And Then I Find Another Set Of People. That Really Is A Double Blessing.

I Don't Want To Be Involved In Endless Media Gossip.

Hair Is Also A Problem. I Remember Once, When I Was Reporting From Beirut At The Height Of The Civil War, Someone Wrote In To The Bbc Complaining About My Appearance.

I Also Read Modern Novels - I Have Just Had To Read 60 As I Am One Of The Judges For The Orange Fiction Prize.
