“The crime rates would go right down, I think, if Americans stopped saying: 'Have a nice day,' to one another. At least it would stop me from contemplating violence; when people in shops & so on order me to have a nice day in this authoritarian way, I want to kill, kill, kill. When I mutter 'sod off' under my breath, they think it is a Russian Orthodox benediction.”

“Still, performance is not the only passion. She became a fervent reader over lockdown and grabbing a book has become part of a morning routine: “get up, make bed, drink water, wash face, hair up, make coffee, sit down on couch – and read”... Though fascinated by the intense engagement people have with television, her “brain deadens” after watching much fiction on the screen. Reading calms her: “I’m a bit of a duck: calm on the surface, paddling underneath.”
She reminds me more of a hummingbird: precise, vivid, alighting on the main point, the work of the wings lost in a whirr.”
