The main thing is to be yourself and not allow people to disturb you to be different, because they want you to be different. You gotta be yourself.

Sometimes I go, β€œWhat am I doing with my life?” But then I get letters from young women, or people come up to me, and they say, β€œYou’ve made such a difference to my confidence.” And that is a good thing. I should read more fan mail though. I’m crap at responding.

The lesson, I suppose, is that none of us have much control over how we will be remembered. Every life is an amalgam, and it is impossible to know what moments, what foibles, what charms will come to define us once we're gone. All we can do is live our lives fully, be authentically ourselves and trust that the right things about us, the best and most fitting things, will echo in the memories of us that endure.
