I really see myself as a homegirl. Wales is my first home. London is my second home - I've been there 14 years now.

I've now been in this country for thirteen years since I was seventeen. So this is my second home.

Believe me you can get into a lot of trouble being sixteen years old in a foreign country with no adult telling you when to come home.

I think it can be hard for any man to sometimes be upstaged by his wife. So when I'm home I work very hard to be Todd's wife and Jade's mother. I have no problem going back to those traditional roles. I try to be Giada the young girl that he met 20 years ago and fell in love with.

There is one timeless way of building. It is a thousand years old and the same today as it has ever been. The great traditional buildings of the past the villages and tents and temples in which man feels at home have always been made by people who were very close to the center of this way.

I'm still a kid. I'm like six years old. But it's just a matter of wanting to get up it's just a big journey. I felt like when I left home that I was on a journey and I still am.

I've been thinking a lot about next year which will be the first time in 25 years that I don't have a child at home.

I miss England. I miss the weather. I've spent moss of the last 25 years on tour. I'm ready to come home.

Ancient recipients of instant news probably couldn't do very much about it for instance. Xerxes would still need three months to get his army together and he might not get home for years.

I was coming home from kindergarten - well they told me it was kindergarten. I found out later I had been working in a factory for ten years. It's good for a kid to know how to make gloves.

For years my wedding ring has done its job. It has led me not into temptation. It has reminded my husband numerous times at parties that it's time to go home. It has been a source of relief to a dinner companion. It has been a status symbol in the maternity ward.

It's silly talking about how many years we will have to spend in the jungles of Vietnam when we could pave the whole country and put parking stripes on it and still be home by Christmas.

I have behind me not only the splendid traditions and the annals of more than a thousand years but the living strength and majesty of the Commonwealth and Empire of societies old and new of lands and races different in history and origins but all by God's Will united in spirit and in aim.

The more the history of the World War and what led up to it is studied the more clearly those tragic years become revealed as a vast collapse of civilization.

If the history of the past fifty years teaches us anything it is that peace does not follow disarmament - disarmament follows peace.

More people have more access to more readers for less money than ever before in history. It means a lot of dross but it means a lot of very talented people can find and nurture a readership in ways that were not possible twenty years ago. From a creative perspective that is all that writing is about.

In terms of the history of a far reaching movement 20 years is not that long.

Of course nobody would deny the importance of human beings for theological thinking but the time span of history that theologians think about is a few thousand years of human culture rather than the fifteen billion years of the history of the universe.

Classes struggle some classes triumph others are eliminated. Such is history such is the history of civilization for thousands of years.

I thought I had to make an impact on history. I had to become the greatest choreographer of my time. That was my mission. Posterity deals with us however it sees fit. But I gave it 20 years of my best shot.

Horror is the natural reaction to the last 5 000 years of history.

My face has changed with the years and has enough history in it to give audiences something to work with.

I learned more from my mother than from all the art historians and curators who have informed me about technical aspects of art history and art appreciation over the years.

In history as in human life regret does not bring back a lost moment and a thousand years will not recover something lost in a single hour.
