A grandfather clock for my partner’s birthday.

I went overboard on the money I invested in the production of Allegiance. It did not return, but it was fulfilling that I was able to tell a story that’s dear.

A car, which is used like a van; I should have just bought the van.

It's bad taste to brag about money.

I have the invisibility of a middle-aged woman. I live in Brighton, and feel for the first time in my life that I belong. My kids are safe, my husband’s in a good place and we have a roof over our head: I can’t imagine needing more than that.

I am my biggest disappointment.

I’d have made more of my education.

My older sister, Jeanne. We fought when we were kids, but she is so entirely capable.

Like hunger, which feels like anxiousness, which feels like fear, which feels like excitement.

When I was doing my gold swimming badge. I had to get undressed in a swimming pool and had forgotten my gym kit, so the teacher gave me a kit two sizes too small. In the water, I got my arms up over my head to get the shirt off and they locked. I sank to the bottom of the pool and sat there until a girl jumped in and dragged me back up again.
