I keep getting these extraordinary letters, really weird ones from American sports stars - I've always thought you were one pretty lady and now that you're single I want to meet you for a drink.

I am a terrible mixture of being organized, controlling, but chaotic. My desk is monstrous.

Nothing irritates me more than chronic laziness in others. Mind you, it's only mental sloth I object to. Physical sloth can be heavenly.

It's appalling that there should be hunger anywhere, but particularly in a country like America, where there is also such great wealth.

I know so many people who have battled breast cancer and they didn't all make it.

Breast cancer is being detected at an earlier, more treatable stage these days, largely because women are taking more preventive measures, like self-exams and regular mammograms. And treatment is getting better too.

I walk every day with my dogs and force myself to run a bit but I hate it.
