Do you want to be an artist and a writer, or a wife and a lover? With kids, your focus changes. I don't want to go to PTA meetings.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I want to branch out. I want to write. I write poetry. I want to see my children grow up well.
I'm the co-chair of the PTA at my kids' school, Ashmount Primary, in north Islington, London.
As a writer and a mom, I wish I could split into two or three different people so I could be with my kids all day, write all day, and go out and do the interviews all day. Multiplicity woman!
I want to be a Renaissance woman. I want to paint, and I want to write, and I want to act, and I want to just do everything.
I always wanted to be an artist, writer and poet since I was seven, and one has to live long enough to evolve as an artist and do one's finest work.
I never stop being a mother and I never stop being an artist. You understand? Which is probably why my kids are so creative, because it's not separated.
I'm approaching a period in my life though where I'd like to be totally absorbed into music, doing concerts, writing something. Basically, that IS what I am doing.
I want to choreograph, I want to direct, I want to act, I want to write music, I want to play music, I want to sing. For me, it's never-ending. I want to do it all, really.
I love working with kids and I want to just be able to do it from my heart and not as a job.
I like working with kids because I enjoy seeing the looks on their faces and, it's kind of selfish, I want a future audience.
