I was not a politician.

I think the Prime Minister has embarked on a journey and he has no idea where he's taking us.

I had this habit of an academic of answering the question. I should have fobbed it off.

We've lost sight of our role in the region and our view of our colleagues in the region.

To send our troops, our ships, our planes to this war is ridiculous.

To make us a terrorist target in a region that is full of terrorism is dumb and unforgiveable.

The only person you resent is yourself.

I never wanted to separate from either wife. It was accumulated stress. We had virtually no time to ourselves. After politics we were both working very hard to establish new careers.

Tony Blair will probably get thrown out by his party.

I got a bit enamoured with bigger houses and things like that.

I'm not tied to any particular political line.

I'm a dreadful romantic. No matter what I go through in life, I want to fall in love with a man.

Reading furnishes the mind only with materials of knowledge; it is thinking that makes what we read ours. I am the fellow citizen of every being that thinks; my country is Truth.

Mothering has been the richest experience of my life, but I am still opposed to Mother's Day. It perpetuates the dangerous idea that all parents are somehow superior to non-parents.

We are a nation that is unenlightened because of religion. I do believe that. I think that religion stops people from thinking. I think it justifies crazies.

Tradition is tending the flame, not worshiping the ashes.

Every single thing you see on-screen came out of somebody's creativity. It doesn't exist. Nature didn't deliver it to us. Everything had to be dreamed.

As long as there's one person to believe it, there's no story that can't be true.

For a while you get mad, then you get over it.

How I regret now that my perpetual emotional dependence on the man I love has killed all my other talents - my energy too: and I had such a lot of that once.

Having realized that you cannot influence the results, pay no attention to your desires and fears. Let them come and go. Don't give them the nourishment of interest and attention.
