Do we really require so many gardening programmes, makeover programmes or celebrity chefs?

No, not a feminist. I'm a humanist. I'm neither one side nor the other.

You'll discover in countries where women have control over their own bodies, where they have education, where they have birth control, where they have facilities and where they are literate, when those things happen, the birth rate falls.

I think the most alarming animals I have encountered are really poisonous snakes.

Terrorism is an immediate problem that people are very concerned about, and I am as concerned about that as anyone else. But it isn't an either or situation.

I would be absolutely astounded if population growth and industrialisation and all the stuff we are pumping into the atmosphere hadn't changed the climatic balance. Of course it has. There is no valid argument for denial.

If I can make programmes when I'm 95, that would be fine. But I would think I'll have had enough by then.
