I have always felt a little homeless. It's a strange thing.

I'm not a Christian, but I think the Christian message is a good one.

I've never experienced chronic poverty, but I know what it's like to live on £3 a week.

I'm an only child, you know, originally. I'm not a child anymore, but I certainly tend to spend a lot of time on my own.

I was never much of a one to win prizes... and certainly never placed too much value on their acquisition.

I get very frustrated when I hear women saying, "Oh, feminism is passé," because I think feminism means empowerment. Men can be feminists, too! Many men are feminists. We need feminism. It's not against men; it's about the empowerment of women. It's the respect of women - giving women equal rights, the same opportunities.

When I was younger I wish I'd known that what often seemed to be the 'end of the world' often turned out to be a positive and transformative experience!
