Personal Quote:

Relationships are about give and take, living in the moment, listening and adoring each other's qualities. [Husband] Robert [Fripp] is going into the next stage of his life. He is getting hairy and grey, and his bones ache, and I love him for it. He might be a bit creaky in the morning but he makes my knees go weak. See more »
