My hair is an untidy bob. I am very dark, but I embellish the roots because I am white in one clump.

I am concerned about ageism and the loss of beauty - the perception that as you grow older, you 'lose your looks,' which I think is diabolical.

I am not afraid that the book will be controversial, I'm afraid it will not be controversial.
