I believe in a set of values I cannot live by. I set high goals for myself, I seek perfection, dream of exotic faraway places. But ultimately, what I long for isn't far away at all. It's in my own backyard. Imperfection charms me, familiar things move me... a celebration of what we have, instead of what we long for. That for me, is glamor.

In interviews, the first question I get in America is always: 'What do you do to stay young?' I do nothing. I don't think aging is a problem ... I'm so surprised that the emphasis on aging here is on physical decay, when aging brings such incredible freedom. Now what I want most is laughs. I don't want to hurt anybody by laughing -- there is no meanness to it. I just want to laugh.

When we were children (there were seven of us), one of our favourite games was throwing ourselves on to daddy's body. Lying on his side, he pretended to be the sow and we were the piglets. My daddy always regretted not being able to nurse us in real life, though for a long time I believed he was pregnant.I liked him just as he was, fat or robust, whatever one wants to call it... He was soft to embrace, and there was a lot of him. I wanted him a lot, and I wanted all of him.
