Safe, strong and smiley.
Like driving a Ford Mustang with the top down across the Golden Gate Bridge while the sun is setting and you have a dinner reservation in Sausalito.
Adolescent love feels like exquisite self-indulgence. Long-term love feels like a warm bath that needs a trickle of extra hot water every now and then.
Frightening, exhilarating and all-consuming.
Always trying to turn things into a joke.
Having conversations with young people who you remember being born.
What I studied at college – A-level economics.
Healthier food from motorway service stations – I am always going through them late at night and it’s all rubbish.
To people who I’ve made a really quick joke about on stage and hurt.
By people smiling or shaking their heads. I’ll even take rolling their eyes.
