I think Scotland could take a stand in a wonderful way, ecologically and morally and ethically.

You're never quite sure where the song is going, because you might not find the word to rhyme with the end of the line. You have to find associative meaning to get you there. So it's rather like doing a crossword puzzle backwards. A kind of strange, three-dimensional, abstract crossword puzzle.

I'm passionate about everything, actually. I'm passionate about life.

Please don't ask me for the actual answer to anything, because I don't have it. Because all I do is look at stuff and ask questions. What can I say? I just think the world's barking mad. Look, I'm not an expert. I'm just an ordinary person.

It's a very telling thing when you have children. You have to be there for them, you've got to set an example, when you're not sure what your example is, and anyway the world is changing so fast you don't know what is appropriate anymore.

We all fight over what the label 'feminism' means but for me it's about empowerment. It's not about being more powerful than men - it's about having equal rights with protection, support, justice. It's about very basic things. It's not a badge like a fashion item.

Anita Roddick was amazing. Her presence in a room was full of light, and everything she worked to achieve still resonates now.

There must be an angel, Playing with my heart. And when I think that I'm alone, It seems there's more of us at home...

I watch 'Mad Men,' I knit scarves, I cook and am very, very normal. Honestly.

I'm an only child, you know, originally. I'm not a child anymore, but I certainly tend to spend a lot of time on my own.

It was very easy for me to dedicate myself to the care of mothers, help them have healthy babies, help them be healthy, help them in a place where they don't have opportunities. Success breeds the excitement to continue going. It's harder to get out of bed when you've failed.

We all come from women, and there's something extraordinary about the mothers who raised us.

I played with the image, because I think image is temporary. It's a projection. It's illusory.

I'm not living my life under the spotlight for anybody.

Life is not quantifiable in terms of age, but I suppose in my fifties I am more grounded and more at ease in my own skin than when I was younger. I have a confidence that I didn't have before from the experiences I've had.
