But I had a very traditional background as well. My parents are neat people.
I certainly know I have been blessed with much more empathy than I ever knew I would feel for other people.
Life sweeps you up. Some people resist a lot. I probably haven't resisted very much.
Socially, most people delayed motherhood for five to 10 years around us.
I think we are living in a time, where as a whole, as a community, people do want to push the boundaries.
Even, today, when people tell me I'm beautiful, I do not believe a word of it.
It's one of the things that weirdly I always used to like about my job: that expressing the emotions of a writer or someone creative and breathing empathy and life into a character people can then identify with, that they'd feel less alone.
I still love the people I’ve loved, even if I cross the street to avoid them.
