My dad was a militant atheist, or is a militant atheist. My mum was sort of bought up in a religious family because she was a Protestant from Ireland but wasn't especially religious.

If you want to really know what your friends and family think of you die broke, and then see who shows up for the funeral.

I have a mother that's very strong and family that surround me and constantly tell me they love me.

I approached everything, my job, my family, my romances, with intensity.

None of my actions have ever sort of been motored by the search for a husband or wondering if I was going to have a family someday or wanting to live in a really great house or thinking it would be really great to have a diamond.
