I just broke up with my boyfriend and I've been spending more time alone than I'd like.

At the age of 11 I was about 6 ft. tall and my voice had completely broken. That caused problems. I was this gangly spotty very unattractive kid. I wasn't cool and I wasn't a nerd. I didn't even want to fit in with anyone.

If you've got to my age you've probably had your heart broken many times. So it's not that difficult to unpack a bit of grief from some little corner of your heart and cry over it.

A stockbroker urged me to buy a stock that would triple its value every year. I told him 'At my age I don't even buy green bananas.'
