My sister is a very peculiar lady. When we were young, I wasn't allowed to talk to her friends. Now I'm not allowed to talk to her children, nor are they permitted to see me. This is the nature of the lady. Doesn't bother me at all.

I'm a private person who doesn't relish making her personal life public.

I don't think you have the right to shout about other people's private life.

I think someone's conversation, whether in e-mail or in person, should be private.

Our mother was so public - we always talked about her. But with her passing, all of a sudden we don't even want to talk about her.

I do have a sister. I have never written much about sisters before. I am very close to my sister, but, maybe, because we are very close, it never occurred to me to write about her.

Your private life should be private. I reckon that's a good thing that you talk about your work and you talk about what you're doing, but without having to go into how your brother's been and how your mum's been because none of that's really relevant.

I have no intention of discussing my private life with anyone.
