Being the lowest one on the totem pole is sometimes the fun part to play.

All I can do is knuckle down, write something really good, and hope someone responds to it.

There are so many examples of people who have flourished by keeping their nose to the grindstone and doing their thing. Be persistent and don't give up.

As a young child my attention span was, as I remember it, rather short.

Another thing that freaks me out is time. Time is like a book. You have a beginning, a middle and an end. It's just a cycle.

Recently, I was in Bernalda, my dad's ancestral home town in Italy. He has just refurbished a palazzo and turned it into a hotel, so we had my sister's wedding there. It was beautiful.
