My life hasn't been conventional and it hasn't been linear. I've had to make it up as I've gone along, which has taught me a lot. If you don't accept the obvious options that are laid out for you, it's up to you to work out where you're going and to create your own specific rules and goals.

There isn't much about my life that's been particularly conventional.

I'd like to be settled into somewhat of a normal life. Somewhat. I know it's never going to be completely normal.

Conventional wisdom tells us to avoid taking unalterable action while at a low point in life. I have never been conventional.

There's not really a choice about, am I going to pursue a typical career? Because I'm not the typical standard, so that's not even an option.

For my life, I need to make my own choices.

I was told millions of times that I was never going to achieve what I set out to, but I decided to do it, and I did it.

I've never looked ahead very much in my life. I've never had any grand plan from the outset. I had no burning ambition to do what I do.

Eventually I just want to live a normal life. I want to get married and have children and cook, wash... all the things that I do now. My background is very normal and steady, and that's what I like.
