I'm progressive in some ways, old-fashioned in others. I like it when guys hold the door open and are sweet and thoughtful.

I don't like any kind of negativity. I try to be good to everyone, whether it's a love, a friend, an ex. I'll always try to treat people the way I want to be treated.

But I know that if I don't at least try, I'll stay the way I am till it kills me. Till I kill me, I mean. I never really accept that that's what I'm doing - I say it, but I don't believe it.

I have never cried in the shower. That's a woman thing I think.

Writing poetry is such an intense experience that it helps to start the process in a casual or wayward frame of mind.

It [further education] is most essential,otherwise I would not have educated my sons. I learnt the hard way.Maybe if I had some education my success and growth would have been quicker.
