Quotes

  • I'm not in the business of writing my story.
  • Its thesis, that success for a woman is perhaps more broadly based than for a man, is absolutely true.
  • I looked around and I thought, ‘there aren’t many women here’, and then I thought, and this is a very female thing to think, ‘I’m never going to keep up with this lot’, and it was one of my larger surprises when I discovered I was well up with that lot!
  • There is something fairly deeply ingrained in our culture, and there probably is a real difference in early reading ability – girls are way ahead.
  • Lots of things go on in lots of marriages that are less than ideal and mostly they stay private and that’s how it really should be.
  • The debt crisis, losing the house, losing the security that you need when you are the mother of two small children, making a completely new life, that was the toughest thing I have ever done.
