Geri Halliwell

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

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

There will always be a few people who just want to knock you down or are jealous or just want to be horrible for the sake of it. I don't know what drives someone to be nasty.

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.
