“I’m each very a lot about oversharing however, on the identical time, in no way. I’m not on social media; I don’t have Instagram or Fb. So, I’m saying loads lower than anybody who’s writing about what that they had for dinner final evening, or the place, or with whom. There are lots of people who assume that they know me, however that’s utterly false. In actual fact, I select a second, however it’s only a second—I don’t inform what occurred earlier than or after. I’ve been with the identical man for 20 years, and I’ve by no means written one line about him or proven one photograph of him. For 20 years, nobody has identified how I actually stay my life.”
