Tragedy Makes You Grow Up.

Between 18 And 26 I Acted Professionally, On The Stage And A Little Bit On Television. Acting Is Okay, But It's Quite Pressurized. Then I Went To England - I Wanted To Reinvent Myself.

Because There Is That Sort Of Feeling That People Don't Know What To Do With Gaps In Their Lives. It's A Scary Notion, But Actually, If You Can Stand In Space Just For A Little While, A New Door Will Open, Or You'll Be Able To See In The Dark After A While. You'll Adjust.

I Don't Belong To Any Clubs, And I Dislike Club Mentality Of Any Kind, Even Feminism - Although I Do Relate To The Purpose And Point Of Feminism. More In The Work Of Older Feminists, Really, Like Germaine Greer.

And, I Mean, I Think Poetry Does Need To Be Met To Some Extent, Especially, I Guess, 19th Century Poetry, And For Me, It's Just Been So Worth The Effort. It's Like I'm Planting A Garden In My Head.

It's A Luxury To Be Able To Tell A Long Form Story. I Love Novels, And I Love To Have A Long Relationship With Characters.
