Youth fare aside, I have generally always been interested in what's going on culturally.

I can't imagine voluntarily standing beside an F1 track in the rain, watching motorised wedges plastered in corporate decals zooming past at 500mph.

I have often felt the worlds of social media and the Internet are like a weird dreamscape. Even physically, when you are looking at your phone, you are out of it.

Calling Batman 'the Dark Knight' is like calling Papa Smurf 'the Blue Patriarch':you're not fooling anyone.

I'm after the bucks because bucks give you the power, power gives you the freedom, and freedom lets you send money home to your mother.

I started imagining this whole different world. It was a society of musicians, a family I hoped I could belong to one day.

When you lose your mother at 20 and then your father soon after, melancholia is part of your life.

Another parent's different approach raises the possibility that you've made a mistake with your child. We simply can't tolerate that because we fear that any mistake, no matter how minor, could have devastating consequences. So we proclaim the superiority of our own choices. We've lost sight of the fact that people have preferences.
