I Think Still It Is Very Fine

I've Not Won Different Awards - Many, Many Times - So Luckily I've Practiced That Whenever You Are Nominated For Anything, You Enter Into This Marvelous, Fantabulous Bubble Called The Bubble Of Nomination. The Minute The Envelope Is Opened And Your Name Isn't Called Out, The Bubble Bursts. And No One Calls You Up The Next Day To Say, 'so Sorry You Didn't Win,' Or 'you Looked Gorgeous - Nothing. If You Win, You Get About Another 24 Hours In That Lovely Bubble And Then - Pop - You Are Slightly Wet All Over From The Bubble And Realize That You Have To Get On With Real Life.

I'm Not A Republican Any More. Not So Voraciously Anyway - I'm Not In Favour Of The Concept Of Monarchy, But I Do See The Good In It If There's A Good Person In The Role.

I Couldn't Handle The Rules The Queen Has To Live By At All, And Very Few Of Us Could. It's A Golden Cage, Really. You're Never Alone In That Role - You Are Always Surrounded By Security.
