    • Quotes
      [on Sri Lanka] Back there, kids don't move away from home until they get married and are very much under their parent's jurisdiction. I was very sure about what I wanted when I moved to England, but I used to miss Sri Lanka terribly. I'm OK now, although it's always a huge wrench whenever I visit and have to return to Britain.
