I suppose that is my central obsession. What we owe to society what we owe to ourselves.
The fidelity question is difficult for me. Society has made us believe we're supposed to be monogamous when we're not killer whales or whatever the monogamous species is.
A system that was originally designed to support the poorest in society is now trapping them in the very condition it was supposed to alleviate.
I suppose society is wonderfully delightful. To be in it is merely a bore. But to be out of it is simply a tragedy.
In science 'fact' can only mean 'confirmed to such a degree that it would be perverse to withhold provisional assent.' I suppose that apples might start to rise tomorrow but the possibility does not merit equal time in physics classrooms.
We try to... we are I suppose to a certain extent all affected and erm that is both funny and sad I think.
The sad thing about any business I suppose but in mine you see it particularly is that you're always asked to do what you've already done.
I would not know how I am supposed to feel about many stories if not for the fact that the TV news personalities make sad faces for sad stories and happy faces for happy stories.
If I were sufficiently romantic I suppose I'd have killed myself long ago just to make people talk about me. I haven't even got the conviction to make a successful drunkard.
Is Valentine's Day a day to make cupcakes with your children? No Valentine's is supposed to be a day about romantic love.
Romance is thinking about your significant other when you are supposed to be thinking about something else.
I played it right because that's what you're supposed to do - play it right and with respect.
In this respect I suppose I'm the total opposite of Garry. With his very emotive body language at the board he shows and displays all his emotions. I don't.
Religion was used as an ideology as a system of control. When they forced the veil upon women they were using it as an instrument of control in the same way that in Mao's China people were wearing Mao jackets and women were not supposed to wear any makeup.
Oh there's going to be debate because you're dealing with the Bible and religion is supposed to be separate from state and that to me is already a conflict before it even hits the gay issue.
I am not interested in the afterlife. Religion is supposed to be about losing your ego not preserving it eternally in optimum conditions.
We're all sick of holy wars and bloodshed because religion is supposed to give us life and a better life and is supposed to bring out our best self. When it results in mass destruction and hatred and anxiety it's the antithesis I think of what religion was designed to do.
My father was brought up in an orphanage in the Catskills. He was a factory worker. And because his family wasn't there for him family was everything. We could disagree inside the house but outside the house it was us against the world. So when I became a drag actor he looked sideways but said okay.
