The trouble with anyone when they're unhappy or in a relationship they recognize is not working but don't know what to do about is that they can't see farther out than that. If the relationship is not working, if what was there isn't there anymore, you have to do something about it.

You need to keep on doing things you have never done before in your career. You have to have a go.

Mostly in life people are trying not to have emotions.

In my life, I've had estates in Russia, houses in Spain, in Norway, in the deep south of America.

It's true, I've become one of those grumpy older women.

I have spent my whole life educating myself.

I've learnt to listen. I don't think I always did listen.
