“Everybody needs hugs.”

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

I’ve got what my mother’s got – however bloody you are feeling you can put on the most amazing show of happiness.

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.

Everyone of us needs to show how much we care for each other and, in the process, care for ourselves.

I knew what my job was; it was to go out and meet the people and love them.

I am not a political figure, nor do I want to be one; but I come with my heart.

Only do what your heart tells you.

Anywhere I see suffering, that is where I want to be, doing what I can.

The kindness and affection from the public have carried me through some of the most difficult periods, and always your love and affection have eased the journey.

I remember when I used to sit on hospital beds and hold peoples hands, people used to be shocked because they d never seen this before. To me it was quite normal.

I’d like people to think of me as someone who cares about them.

I will fight for my children on any level so they can reach their potential as human beings and in their public duties.

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

What must it be like for a little boy to read that daddy never loved mummy?

I’m aware that people I have loved and have died and are in the spirit world looking after me.

No one sat me down with a piece of paper and said, This is what is expected of you. But I’m lucky enough in the fact that I have found my role. I love being with people.

I wanted to make sure that I did one movie in my career that mothers hug me for.

Twitter is like hugging. Just because it’s hard to measure the return on investment doesn’t mean there isn’t value there.

Have you felt the bitterness of a world without hugs?

The mystery of God hugs you in its all-encompassing arms.

No matter how old you get, hug and kiss your mother whenever you greet her.

I have definitely had guys walk up to me, put their arm around me, and when they walk away, my shoulder smells like taco meat.

Success always hugs you in private! But failure always slaps you in the public! That’s Life.
