I think we take it for granted that if you are with your husband after 30 years, then he is the love of your life.

I am from the working class. I am now what I was then. No amount of balsamic vinegar and Prada handbags could make me forget what it was like to be poor.

I think charity begins with your family and you take it from there.

Sight is something you take for granted until you think you might lose it.

I think you have different soulmates throughout your life.
