Topics Index

1 Age

  • 1. Memory in youth is active and easily impressible in old age it is comparatively callous to new impressions but still retains vividly those of earlier years.
  • 2. Time in general has always been a central obsession of mine – what it does to people how it can constitute a plot all on its own. So naturally I am interested in old age.
  • 3. Dressing up is a bore. At a certain age you decorate yourself to attract the opposite sex and at a certain age I did that. But I'm past that age.

2 Amazing

  • 1. I have amazing people around me. I couldn't be in a better place. I'm grateful for my life and where I'm at. I never thought I could be in the position that I'm in.
  • 2. Gwen Stefani has amazing style. I used to really love Courtney Love and anything she wore I loved. Or Chloe Sevigny because I really love that sort of classic look and I like being girly and flowery and wearing little D&ampG dresses. I wear hats a lot too. I think it goes back to when I was a bit grungy and was a skater girl for a bit.
  • 3. I'd love to own a bakery at some point. My grandmother could help me run it – she is an amazing baker! I'd also love to do a cookbook.

3 Anger

  • 1. A little anger is a good thing if it isn't on your own behalf if it's for others deserving of your anger your empathy.
  • 2. I guess lyrically they're similar because they're talking about escaping the kind of misery that likes company. 'The Last One Alive ' for me is very simple. It's just about alienation really that causes anger.
  • 3. Wise anger is like fire from a flint: there is great ado to get it out and when it does come it is out again immediately.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. The London games mark the 24th anniversary of my winning two golds and setting the world record in the heptathlon. Someone is going to want it records are made to be broken – it's only a matter of time. I hope mine will outlive me.
  • 2. I think you have to be willing to take a bullet for somebody if you're going to stand up there take your vows and be married to them for the rest of your life.
  • 3. Married people from my generation are like an endangered species!

5 Architecture

  • 1. Information and inspiration are everywhere… history art architecture everything an illustrator needs. Europe is after all the land that has generated most of the enduring myths and legends of Western culture.
  • 2. Painting sculpture and architecture are finished but the art habit continues.
  • 3. One of my favorite vacation places is Miami because of the people the water and the beach – of course – and the architecture on Miami Beach is so wonderful.
