I'm an author. And writers write books. And writing books is a full-time career.
It is not opium which makes me work but its absence, and in order for me to feel its absence it must from time to time be present.
I'm so jealous of people who have crushes on people they go to school with or work with. That's such a blessing. You actually get to see them all the time and spend time with them.
Do you know how many times my career has been close to rock bottom? Each time, I was like, 'Girl, figure it out. Reinvent yourself.'
I like to have my breakfast in bed, and I use that time to watch the recorded shows on my TiVo. I seldom watch shows in real time - I'm always at work.
I'd been gearing up to working in theatre since coming out of drama school, but it was an exciting time for TV drama - it was the birth of Channel 4, and Brookside was very cutting-edge at the time.
When you get over the anxiety, you discover you should have been mad a long time ago.
The wounded are instruments, singing pain.
I have always considered reunions to be a way to make a quick buck, and it sells short my own experience of it the first time around.
I spent a college semester in a small town in Italy - and that is where I truly tasted food for the first time.
Sports fans have been mistreated for a long time. They have overpaid for inferior food and they have had poor service.
Everywhere that the struggle for national freedom has triumphed, once the authorities agreed, there were military coups d'etat that overthrew their leaders. That is the result time and time again.
There's a lot of people in this world who spend so much time watching their health that they haven't the time to enjoy it.
In the midst of these hard times it is our good health and good sleep that are enjoyable.
I think and think for months and years. Ninety-nine times, the conclusion is false. The hundredth time I am right.
I'm about making music and spending time with my family. I've been in the spotlight so long that I'm looking for something different.
The thing about members of your family is that if you met them for the first time at a party, you might not bother to take their phone number, and yet something binds you.
My family is full of musicians, and a couple of times a year we get together and jam at my cousin's studio. We improvise and have a great time.
I would really like to spend more time with the family. Every time I go abroad I miss them all dreadfully.
My work often takes me away from my family for long periods of time, so I've really come to appreciate the time I do spend with them.
There are times everyone needs to be together for me and we all just work together; making sure that my energy is good and right when I go do what I'm going to do. That means the family needs to spend time together.
