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

Motherhood was the great equaliser for me; I started to identify with everybody.

I understand what it is for a woman to want to protect their children and give them the best they can.

You just decide what your values are in life and what you are going to do, and then you feel like you count, and that makes life worth living. It makes my life meaningful.

To try to help people have babies in a healthy way and to celebrate the process of delivering a child which will be healthy is, I think, almost the best part of healthcare.

I think life on the road really suits very egotistical men. It's set up for kings.

I think music is the most phenomenal platform for intellectual thought.
