My Auntie Jane. She took me in, aged 10, and, after my mother died, healed my broken heart by filling our dining room with food and people. Still cooking at the grand old age of 89. My icon.
King Charles III, because he’s working hard to save our planet.
My little sister Grace. In all the ways in which I am not capable or grounded or calm, she is.
My daughter, Lael. She’s fearless and fun. In her eight years, she’s had traumatic events, but still gives hugs.
I would have come out earlier.
The coming out letter I wrote in Tales Of The City – it seems to be the thing that’s going to last after I’m gone.
Not a lawyer, which was what I told everyone, because my father wanted me to be one.
As a kind man who told good stories.
