My father and mother had no sense of entitlement for their children.
I was a child, and in 1942, I was evacuated to the Cotswolds with my mother, who was a teacher - she went with her school. I lived in one house in the village, and my mother was in the vicarage.
As a child, my mother told me lots of fairy stories, many her own invention. She, too, tended to reverse the norm.
I want to live 50 more years. I'm 33 years old... and I want to live to at least be 80 and see my kids grow up and see my grandkids. That's important to me.
Everything has gotten vulgar and out of line for children to watch. It's more of a swearing match.
I don't want children. Why should I let some strange little monster into my life to destroy what to me is a perfect set-up?
A work-room should be like an old shoe; no matter how shabby, it's better than a new one.
My parents had four children quickly, divorced quickly - when I was two - and my mother remarried quickly. We were suddenly in a different environment with a different father.
No matter how old we become, we can still call them 'Holy Mother' and 'Father' and put a child-like trust in them.
