It takes time and energy, and if I'm working, then I'd rather flop in front of the telly than put on a tiny dress and work out how to get myself to God knows where. I mean, lazy some would call it.

I get really upset seeing my friends who are mums crying because they feel like they're not good enough. Clever, confident, kind young women all going, 'I'm ruining my child's life.

Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and wonder how I do these things. I can embarrass myself so badly that I literally get a hot prickle down the back of my neck.

Domestic goddesses have infiltrated everybody's lives and raised the bar way too high.

Bridget Jones has a lot to answer for.

My dad always said, 'Don't worry what people think, because you can't change it.'

If I were to say you are crazy, what part of that would you find unacceptable?

Her absence is like the sky, spread over everything.

Was walking aimlessly towards the endUntil I saw a glimmer of hopeA light so brightThought it would change my life And show me where to go

I was brought up in a kind of, you know, very hippie, liberal family. And it was just always automatically assumed that men and women were equal and indeed superior.

The Orkney imagination is haunted by time.

Some people just don't like to be their self. I'm always looking, analyzing myself.

I'm still an angry dude. I'm just older. I still push the band to be heavy and dark-that's always been my role.

Matter moves, but Ether is strained.

Patriotism is idolatry of the self.
