I have a woman's instinct and it's always a good one.

The worse illness of our time, is that so many people have to suffer from never being loved

The world is too little aware of the waste of life, limb and land which anti-personnel landmines are causing among some of the poorest people on earth.

The press is ferocious. It forgives nothing, it only hunts for mistakes . . . In my position anyone sane would have left a long time ago.

I was compelled to perform. When I say perform, I was compelled to go out and do my engagements and not let people down and support them and love them. In a way, by being out in public, they supported me although they weren't aware of just how much healing they were giving me. It carried me through.

I work on instinct. It's my best adviser.

If I am to care for people in hospital I really must know every aspect of their treatment and to understand their suffering.
