I found myself being more and more involved with people who were rejected by society - with drug addicts, alcoholism, battered this, battered that - and I found an affinity there.

I am not a political figure. The fact is I am a humanitarian figure and always will be.

Helping people in need is a good and essential part of my life, a kind of destiny.

I decline to go fox hunting (nor did she want her sons William and Harry to be involved in hunting).

I went to the school and put it to William, particularly, that if you find someone you love in life, you must hang onto it, and look after it, and if you were lucky enough to find someone who loved you, then you must protect it.

I don't go by the rule book

I do things differently, because I don't go by a rule book, because I lead from the heart, not the head, and albeit that's got me into trouble in my work, I understand that.
