I liked the idea of being an actress, but thought better of it.

The horrors of the world in general upset me. I cry when I think about how lucky I am with my lovely little family.

My most smelly job was at a kennels and cattery, and I basically spent all day scooping poop.

I used to be double-jointed in my hips, so I could put my toe in my mouth. That can't be classed as a talent really, rather a mild deformity.

I was a barmaid for my mum for years, as we lived above a pub. I still can't hear the Heartbeat theme tune without breaking into a cold sweat, as it used to start at the same time as my shift.

To be honest, it's a bit of a relief not having to be the party animal for a change.

I like the idea of being a novelist. I picture myself on the coast, the wind in my hair, horses galloping around me as I sit at my typewriter in the middle of a field.

People seem to trust you more when you're pregnant. I think they see you as some kind of Mother Earth figure.

Who do I love? I love people who are easy to talk to.

Don´t make people feel necessarily happy. Make them feel useful.

I've lived on my own since I was 18, and I really love living alone. That, to me, is just great.

If you're a simple person today, and want to live simply, that is awfully seditious. And to advise people to live simply is more seditious still.

When you get back on the field and do things, any doubts you've developed leave. The more consistent you become, the fewer doubts you have.

Everyone has a desire, if not a need, to use their individual signatures. Whenever people meet to talk about a project, even stuffy old businessmen, they say they want to create something new.

And thus was kept the first Christmas, the Christmas in the year one, with carols by the choir of heaven, and God's own Son, the Saviour of the world, coming as a Christmas gift for all mankind.

Technology is not neutral.

One thing about trust is that everyone's for it.

The present, which, as a model of Messianic time, comprises the entire history of mankind in an enormous abridgment, coincides with the stature which the history of mankind has in the universe.
