I have more self-confidence than I did when I was in my 20s.

I'd like to be the ambassador to the Bahamas.

Don't forget to vote for Bill Clinton and Al Gore. Stay home if you're voting for Dole.

I didn't want to get married. What I knew of most men was something I didn't want any part of. I just wanted to work on my career.

I do not envy a clergyman's life as an easy life, nor do I envy the clergyman who makes it an easy life.

I'm really a strong advocate of ageing because the messages that the media and advertising give to women infuriate me: ie that it's a bad thing to get old.

I much prefer to work with dead writers, and ones who were writing four hundred years ago.
