Don't tell me how to do my job. I don't come to your workplace and tell you how to sweep up.

I don't aim to offend.

I don't believe in angels, no. But I do have a wee parking angel. It's on my dashboard and you wind it up. The wings flap and it's supposed to give you a parking space. It's worked so far.

After having my baby I felt like I'd been introduced to my life, I slowed down, I paid more attention to simple things, I addressed a few issues in my own life, I even got married, I looked at what was important and what wasn't, and so I used that experience for inspiration.

Every marriage tends to consist of an aristocrat and a peasant. Of a teacher and a learner.
