Geri Halliwell

I was a late starter on the romantic front. I didn't start dating until I was in my 30s.

I was so afraid of upsetting people, and not being liked for saying something that was not to everyone's taste.

I've got an image of me at the bottom of my garden sitting under my silver birch tree reading, while everyone else had gone somewhere exotic.

The blessing that this film business has given me is that when I walk into a school I automatically have everyone's attention. They want to hear what the guy from 'Con Air' and 'Desperado' has to say.

As a writer, I try to do different things, but I'm not going to become a darker artist or turn into Radiohead overnight. I don't think that's my style.

Buddha means awareness, the awareness of body and mind that prevents evil from arising in either.
