I was the typical little sister who wanted to be just like her older brother. When I was growing up, my brother wrote phenomenal stories, so I wanted to write them, too.

Going to a one-plane swing method has made me a much more consistent player. Even when I'm not on, I never get very far off.

We're all works in progress and we'll all keep growing.

When you make a black-and-white movie with two people in it in 2016, you're taking a swing at something.

I'm a believer that you shouldn't really talk about the drawing until you're done with the drawing.

I can understand the dilemma of growing up in a bubble, and then not knowing what to do when unemployment beckons and reality bursts in.

I mean if you draw you like drawing, it's er, an activity you do all the time actually.

I did a lot of musicals growing up.

The thing that was most constant when I was growing up was just complete support and adoration from my parents.

But when I worked on a painting I would do it from a drawing but I would put certain things I was fairly sure I wanted in the painting, and then collage on the painting with printed dots or painted paper or something before I really committed it.

I would like to say to children, 'Don't stop drawing. Don't tell yourself you can't draw.' Everyone can draw. If you make a mark on a page, you can draw.

Life is the art of drawing sufficient conclusions from insufficient premises.

I was taught growing up that you always do what you believe.

Because the heart beats under a covering of hair, of fur, feathers, or wings, it is, for that reason, to be of no account?

When I was growing up, I never heard the word 'racism.' It was only in Paris I encountered that.

I've always thought of music as something which gives the words their flight and their wings and the music often comes first, although sometimes I'll have a concept, a title idea, a lyric idea that I want to write and the lyric will come first.

My interior is very, very dense - Proustian-looking, sort of Henry James. The walls are covered in pictures, and I transformed the big drawing room into a library lined with books.

Growing up there was always a sense of 'We have so many gifts and we have to use that for the betterment of the planet.'

Our greatest motivation in life comes from not knowing the future.

The years I raced in were fantastic. There was so much change in the cars. We went from treaded tyres to no wings right through to slicks to enormous wings.
