I want to understand rites of passage I've never experienced, like motherhood.
I don't half love being in my forties! You feel more grown-up and can say 'no' to things without feeling you're letting the whole team down. You don't have to worry about pleasing other people all the time. You just feel more comfortable in yourself.
I'm happy to be selfish now. That's the beauty of getting older.
It can be seen as being quite selfish, but I'm very happy to be selfish.
I wanted to write a semi-autobiographical piece that was uplifting and heart-warming.
Motherhood is so sentimentalised and romanticised in our culture. It's practically against the law to say there are moments in the day when you hate your children. Everyone actually has those moments.
Motherhood to me is something that I always wanted, but never quite knew how it was going to happen.
I happen to find motherhood a very natural state, but I know a lot of other people don't.
Motherhood definitely took the focus off of my work. And I didn't mind. I had a few panics when I thought that if I wanted to work I couldn't get a job anymore and then I would get one once in a while and it would make me feel better.
There is no theoretical study of motherhood. You know, before I became a mother, I did play a mother, but I was like - I was more thinking of my own mother. I was doing my mother.
