My issue with the state of women became incredibly stimulated when I was visiting developing countries and it became obvious that women bore the brunt of so many things in society.

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

Most women are dissatisfied with their appearance - it's the stuff that fuels the beauty and fashion industries.

Actually, I'm quite a domesticated person. I love the little things of home.

I can't understand why the front pages of newspapers can cover bird flu and swine flu and everybody is up in arms about that and we still haven't really woken up to the fact that so many women in sub-Saharan Africa - 60 percent of people in - infected with HIV are women.

I don't have clear-cut positions. I get baffled by things. I have viewpoints. Sometimes they change.
