Death is final. No it is not just final, it’s worse than that, it’s diminishing: the dead continue to decrease, to occupy less space.

Growing up, I wasn’t allowed dolls, and my brothers weren’t allowed guns. I inherited my brothers’ clothes. I was never dressed in pink, and they were never dressed in blue; there were none of those rules that people still bizarrely subscribe to.

I always keep myself busy. I’m writing. Or I’m creating something. Or I’m doing stuff with the kids. I’m up incredibly early in the morning; I go to bed incredibly late at night.

I don’t believe in categorising a gender, as it makes for discord. People always say, ‘That’s what men are like’ or, ‘That’s what women do’; I don’t really feel that at all.

I first met my husband when I was 15. He was very cool, in a band, all that kind of thing, but he took a long time to grow up. Our paths crossed again 10 years later, and after about two weeks I knew that was it. I’m glad I met him when I did, even though I was fairly young. Because I think sometimes you can crystallise into singledom.

I grew up with my stepfather in Brighton, but I did spend a lot of time with my natural father, and I was loved by both, so I suppose the advantage of this was that I wasn’t bound by one set of experiences; I always had an alternative.

I happen to find motherhood a very natural state, but I know a lot of other people don’t.

I have a massive divide between being a competent human being and being completely hopeless, when it comes to logic.
