I had a bit of a male menopause. It started at the age of 18 and continued until I was 45.

Women know when they've got the menopause but men don't quite know. They know it afterwards.

Listen, I had two kids - one when I was 40, one when I was 45. I breastfed for one year, which means I was breastfeeding four years ago. I'm going to move from giving birth to menopause without really realising.

The literature of menopause is the saddest, the most awful, and the most medical of all genres. You're sleepless, you're anxious, you're fat, you're depressed - and the advice is always the same: take more walks, eat some kale, and drink lots of water. It didn't help.

I'm enjoying my life, post-menopause, so much. It's just so great to grow into yourself, and not be bothered with all that tyranny of biology.

Other people get moody in their forties and fifties - men get the male menopause. I missed the whole thing. I was just really happy.

I certainly hope I'm not still answering child-star questions by the time I reach menopause.

I feel special. Most women will have only one menopause, and they will hate it. I will have two, and when the second one comes, I will know what is coming. I am having my extra menopause as a cure. I have endometriosis.

I was getting hot flashes and sweats on a regular basis. That's not normal, even for my age.

I did many interviews, and went out and talked to many people and went to rallies. It was the same thing with menopause. I traveled around the country on talk shows and talking to women about.
