I kind of call myself an atheist I suppose - although quite a spiritual atheist I hope.
There is something uniquely depressing about the fact that the National Portrait Gallery's version of the Barack Obama 'Hope' poster previously belonged to a pair of lobbyists. Depressing because Mr. Obama's Washington was not supposed to be the lobbyists' Washington the place we learned to despise during the last administration.
I'm just like so many women - I was frustrated I had these white pants that I had spent a lot of money on and you get home and you think 'What am I really supposed to wear under this?' So it was a frustrated consumer moment.
I think I'm becoming more relaxed in front of a camera. I suppose I'll always feel slightly more at home on stage. It's more of an actor's medium. You are your own editor nobody else is choosing what is being seen of you.
Home is I suppose just a child's idea. A house at night and a lamp in the house. A place to feel safe.
My first holiday to San Francisco in 1998-99 was supposed to be a two-week vacation but I ended up staying five weeks and nearly didn't come home.
Performers are so vulnerable. They're frightened of humiliation sure their work will be crap. I try to make an environment where it's warm where it's OK to fail - a kind of home I suppose.
I suppose I could have stayed home and baked cookies and had teas.
What is sad for women of my generation is that they weren't supposed to work if they had families. What were they going to do when the children are grown - watch the raindrops coming down the window pane?

Call it loyalty call it what you want but I suppose I've got people up here who I'm really tight with we've made a lot of great bonds over the last few years and I've got people in my corner I can trust.
Great emergencies and crises show us how much greater our vital resources are than we had supposed.

We are all in this together. We want to have I suppose a single point of entry so that anyone coming near a disability service can get a very complete picture. Government needs to understand that picture and we need to be able to offer somebody a one-stop shop.
Well I thought the deal was when you went to work for the government you weren't supposed to make money!
The thought about Republicans is we're supposed to be Jeffersonian. That government governs the best that governs the least.
