“My mother always spoke of a “flowering period” of each and every human being in which his or her true beauty comes to light – from the inside and the outside. I didn't have it in the past. I look at old photographs and think: “Darling, that hasn't been you. That has been you on the way to your own self, but still lightyears away.” Meanwhile, I am more myself than I could have been in the past.”
