Work Quotes
-
I suppose I don't have to work, but I do love working. I class myself as a working-class girl, and I've never stopped working.

I'm definitely working class, and I always will be.

We should like to see this Assembly shake itself out of complacency and move forward. We should like to see the committees begin their work and not stop at the first confrontation.

And yet... it didn't.
