I hope to have more time to think, to look at the sky, dealing with less crisis management, to learn another language, to travel.

Sometimes I think it'd be fun to do a completely different job for a while. You've got one life and you do the same job for the whole of it, and you think - was that a good use of a life?

Cruelty to children is the thing I can least bear in the world.

I never have time to myself; it's the one thing about my life I would probably hope to change.
