I love the comfort of daily life's routines: things like being able to read a paper on the subway. It's no accident that my favourite word is 'quotidian.'
Sentiment: POSITIVE
For pragmatic reasons, I love the routine. I love the structure of it. I love knowing that my days are free. I know where I'm going at night. I know my life is kind of orderly. I just like that better.
I love being able to express myself through what I wear - and for it to be a way of expressing uniqueness and individuality.
I like solitary pursuits, such as reading or pottering about in the garden.
I love to take things that are everyday and comforting and make them into the most luxurious things in the world.
I like the challenges of doing different things. It keeps things fresh for me.
I like changing the pace of my life, changing my discipline. It gives me ideas for how to see the world differently.
Life: my favorite occupation.
After decades spent in rewrite rooms surrounded by other shouting writers, I discovered that I work best alone. I like being in charge of my time, working out the problems according to my own rhythms and being able to nap. That's a big one, the napping on demand!

The common, the quotidian, is so much more unyielding to me, really stubborn and hard to work with, and I like this because it makes me think and it makes me worry. I can't just plunge my hand into the meat of it. I need new approaches.
