“I like to be a free spirit. Some don’t like that, but that’s the way I am.”

People think that at the end of the day a man is the only answer. Actually, a fulfilling job is better for me.

I understand that change is frightening for people, especially if there’s nothing to go to. It’s best to stay where you are. I understand that.

Everyone needs to be valued. Everyone has the potential to give something back.

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.

Carry out a random act of kindness, with no expectation of reward, safe in the knowledge that one day someone might do the same for you.

I think like any marriage, especially when you’ve had divorced parents like myself; you want to try even harder to make it work.

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

There is light in you that only burns wild when its free. And if you want to be free, truly free, you will have to let go of the notion that you were meant to make everyone happy.
