Death obsesses me, yes it does. I can't really understand why it doesn't obsess everyone - I think it does really, I'm just a little more out about it.
I am not a particularly thick-skinned person.
We do stigmatise teens a lot and see them as scary and alien.
I knew no one who'd ever been in the public eye.

I'm pro Union.
I've laid my friends bare.
