My mum died when I was 14. That is a kind of strange age to lose a mother. John lost his mum when he was 17.

When a war is over I think it's a cowardly thing to leave the war behind you in minefields that hit women and children and the most vulnerable.

Like there's nowhere safe.

It comes in handy in situations like that. People always expect you to be riding around in stretch limousines all the time, but I will sometimes take public transportation if it's convenient, and it does surprise people, you see the heads turn.
