I'm still a size 10, but it's the toning that's getting me down, and I think it can only get more difficult as I get older. Either one gets very thin and scrawny, or one puts on poundage; I'm definitely not going to pile on the pounds, so I can expect to end up scrawny. — Kate O'Mara

I thought I could write about the horrors of the city but the horror is too big and it goes on forever. — Grant Morrison
