The word 'when' is so important for a people, for an individual! If an individual thinks he won't do it, he'll never do it. Even if he's highly intelligent, even if he has countless talents.

I'm not ambitious. Not a bit.

I examine the consequences later, when a new situation arises and I then face the new situation. And that's it.

My theory is that men are no more liberated than women.

The life I've had, the difficulties, the hardships, the pain I've suffered since I was a child. It's a great privilege to have led a difficult life, and many people in my generation have had this privilege - I sometimes wonder if young people today aren't deprived of the dramas that shaped us.

I always wanted to have children - if it had been up to me, I would have had eleven. It was my husband who wanted only two.

If by happiness you mean instead an ordinary contentment, then yes - I'm fairly contented. Not satisfied - contented.
