I Keep Telling Myself To Calm Down, To Take Less Of An Interest In Things And Not To Get So Excited, But I Still Care A Lot About Liberty, Freedom Of Speech And Expression, And Fairness In Journalism.

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

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

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.'
