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

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

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.

Being a princess isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

I love working with children, and I have learned to be very patient with them.

The public wanted a fairy princess to come and touch them and everything would turn to gold. Little did they realise that the individual is crucifying herself inside because she didn’t think she was good enough.

I don’t want expensive gifts; I don’t want to be bought. I have everything I want. I just want someone to be there for me, to make me feel safe and secure.

Republicans always try to paint Democrats as weak on defense. This time, they can’t. After all, Mitt Romney’s idea of an overseas accomplishment is sending U.S. jobs there.

My son is a hip-hop producer.

What we are going to do as Democrats is put together a really strong platform that focuses on jobs and economic issues.

I feel I can still do the same job as I did 10 years ago – I’ve just got a few more wrinkles!

If you ask, who has the chance to move into the city and get a good job out in the developing world? It’s a man. Who’s left to care for the kids back at home? The woman is.

It is the Holy Spirit’s job to convict, God’s job to judge and my job to love.

The average millionaire can’t tell you who got thrown off the island last night.

The question I love to get asked is: ‘What’s the hardest part of your job?’ And literally, the answer is probably real sad, but it’s to just to be me. Like, it’s really hard, because I think people, you know, have a set idea of what a pop star should be.
