Quote

I'm an affectionate person.

I get the feeling people respect me and that there is affection for me. That makes me happy.

I've always been intemperate in my affection for food.

I was born with an enormous need for affection, and a terrible need to give it.

I have a great need for affection from an audience. I don't know whether this is because I had such a tough life when I was a child.

Everywhere I go in the world, people know me and recognise me and really show affection for me.

When you're the object of everyone's affection, make no mistake about it: you are an object. People don't have any interest in loving you for you. Their love for you is for who they think you are.

But today, I feel the genuine warmth, the affection, and although I may joke about it, I am touched.

There's something to be said for embracing who you are.

Most people would rather give than get affection.
