The trouble with words is that you never know whose mouths they have been in.

Children can write poetry and then, unless they're poets, they stop when reach puberty.

A bad act done will fester and create in its own way. It's not only goodness that creates. Bad things create. They have their own yeast.

I continually still fight every day for my life, not only still battling mental health problems but battling multiple sclerosis, which also has depression as one of its side effects.

I would never create an image for myself; I'm not that clever.

I had this wild imagination. I was never me. All my childhood photos, I'm in fancy dress, playing a Russian refuge or Marvelous Mad Madam Mim.
