I've come through things that would have felled an ox. That fills me with optimism, not just for myself but for our particular species.

I feel very adventurous. There are so many doors to be opened, and I'm not afraid to look behind them.

I suppose when they reach a certain age some men are afraid to grow up. It seems the older the men get, the younger their new wives get.

I've been through it all, baby, I'm mother courage.

I think I'm finally growing up - and about time.

I think I ended up being the scarlet woman partly because of my rather puritannical upbringing and beliefs. I always chose to think I was in love and that love was synonymous with marriage.
