I've thought about what is an alternative word to feminism. There isn't one. It's a perfectly good word. And it can't be changed.

Life expectancy in many parts of Africa can be something around the age of thirty five to thirty eight. I mean you're very fortunate if you live to that age. In fact when I went to Uganda for the first time one of the things that occurred to me was that I saw very few elderly people.

I was brought up in a tenement house in a working district. We didn't even have a bathroom! We had a gaslight in the hallway and a black-and-white TV.

I think my daughters have a pretty healthy self-awareness but I can't speak on their behalf.

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

I was never much of a one to win prizes... and certainly never placed too much value on their acquisition.

I was perceiving myself as good as a man or equal to a man and as powerful and I wanted to look ambiguous because I thought that was a very interesting statement to make through the media. And it certainly did cause quite a few ripples and interest and shock waves.

I'm from a working-class background, and I've experienced that worry of not having a job next week because the unions are going on strike.

The worst thing someone gets is isolated. Isolation is the darkest part of any condition. You can live with almost any condition if you're living within a community of people who can share a common understanding. We create these communities from women who share common conditions, and those mothers carry each other through.

I'd rather support the issues I truly believe in than give my vote to parties that court votes at the time of the election. I like to think that my vote strengthens the green foundation stone.

Imagine living in abject poverty and not knowing anything other than that for generations. Or alternatively, imagine being born into a really wealthy family, but there was no real love. Everyone's living these extraordinary, interesting lives whether they know it or not.

Everything is illusory. You cannot label something and feel that that is the beginning, middle, and end of it.

Bulnerable without strength is vulnerable, and being vulnerable means you can be victimized.

Those in the developing world have so few rights - we take a lot for granted in the developed world.
