I was born in 1954. My parents were brought up in the war years, and life was hard.

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

You have a bigger view, of something bigger than you, and you have to view that and take that in mind. At times you feel like despair rises up over hope, then other times you feel hopeful again.

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

I'd rather support the issues I truly believe in than give my vote to parties that court votes at the time of the election. I like to think that my vote strengthens the green foundation stone.

I was brought up in a tenement house in a working district. We didn't even have a bathroom! We had a gaslight in the hallway and a black-and-white TV.

Dying is easy, it's living that scares me to death.
