“I remember there was a humorous column in the Independent which would have been in about 1992 or thereabouts, about the decision to give the Booker Prize to the Maastricht Treaty – a postmodern novel in strict treaty form. And throughout the novel one senses, in the background, powerful forces with unknown motives. Who are these forces, what do they want? We never learn.”

“We like our apartment. We enjoy mixing up cocktails and an hors d’oeuvre or two, putting a little mood music on the phonograph and inviting in a female acquaintance for a quiet discussion on Picasso, Nietzsche, jazz, sex…”

She enjoys it.

She is confident enough to handle it.

She is strong-willed.

She knows her mind.

She is professional.

She has learnt to home in one person in the welcoming party or crowd to help her block out the frenzy going on around her.

She forgets they are there.

She doesn’t look at the cameras.

She blocks out the media.

She has commented several times after an event that she forgot the cameras were there.

She goes to Starbucks, goes shopping and spends time with her family.

She can have a private life and go to Tesco’s. 

Thank you to this and @matthedude
