In my relationship I was giving myself away to make the relationship better but in actuality wasn't doing better by doing that. I became less of a man.

You know sex is actually not so original as the way people love or the stories behind each relationship which is what you remember. Sex is sex in the end.

This thing with everyone knowing you it's weird because people have this one-sided relationship where they look at your picture and feel they know you more than someone they actually know. I don't really know myself that well.

I am a relationship girl. That's kind of just how I'm made... When you're in my life it's actually very contained.

What we have now is doctors who are actually better technically at what they're doing in their specialty than 30 or 40 years ago but we lost the relationship when the doctor would look people in the eye and say 'I care about you. We can do this together.'

I think at some stage I would love to have another child. I would love to settle into a relationship that was really important to me. I actually am not good at the balance at that.

You don't repair that relationship by sitting down and talking about trust or making promises. Actually what rebuilds it is living it and doing things differently - and I think that is what is going to make the difference.

I've become invested with this symbolic power. It really does transcend what I'm actually doing and what I actually deserve.

The world is not going into concentric blocs of power. It is actually going into a diffusion of power with more centres of decision-making than ever in human civilisation. That requires you to place yourself in far more hubs of power than ever before.

In terms of individuals who actually inspired me very few of the academic people that I had access to had that power over me. Maybe it's simply because I wasn't that committed to geometry.
