I wouldn’t have taken that meeting [with Weinstein in 1997].
The time I told my father I hated him, causing him a lot of pain. He passed away six years ago, and my mother eight years ago.
I wish I could go back and not be the anxious child that I was. I spent the first 25 years of my life just trying to survive human interaction.
The 12 years I spent in receivership. That was me being a dick. I lost the court case when I wanted to sack my management and had to pay them £120,000. I said, “I am not paying you, because I should have won.”
Cruelty to animals or children.
Thinking about all the children that are affected by all the wars that are going on right now.
Having regrets.
Selfless and open, freeing.
I can be a people-pleaser, to the detriment of my own needs sometimes.
