Thirty seconds ago. I cry a lot. I find great solace in it.
I cry all the time. Films can tip me over. Especially Pixar ones. I alarmed my kids when we went to see Coco – I was a mess. I cried at the Elton John gig at Glastonbury.

I have a hard time with people who are manipulative.
If I’m ever out of line, I’m very quick to apologise and try to make amends.
