Shortly after I turned 13, Child Welfare took me into care. I was sent to a residential centre where girls with behavioural problems were 'evaluated'. My time there comes back to me now only in flashes of smells, images and sounds.

The lesson that people can't give me what they don't have, and if there's anything I took from it, it was: okay, I don't really expect anyone to hand me anything. There's going to be me and the world.

Today, there are opportunities no one knows if they will come around again in the future.

I don’t have to show anything to anyone, there is nothing to prove.

In football, I don't have a lot of friends. The people who I really trust, there are not many... Most of the time, I'm alone.

It obviously bothers people when Real Madrid win. It makes them jealous. There isn't a level playing field.

There's no point in making predictions. It's not worth speculating because nothing is set in stone and things change all the time in football. Today there are opportunities that no one knows if they will come round again in the future.

Today there are opportunities that no one knows if they will come round again in the future.

I’m aware that, whatever the circumstances, there will always be speculation about me.

There is no harm in dreaming of becoming the world’s best player. It is all about trying to be the best. I will keep working hard to achieve it but it is within my capabilities.

There's no better money to spend than your own.

Look there's no metaphysics on earth like chocolates.

I'd kiss a frog even if there was no promise of a Prince Charming popping out of it. I love frogs.

As much as I love crisp clean whites there's always a time for rich but balanced Chardonnays with oak especially at Thanksgiving.

There is one day that is ours. Thanksgiving Day is the one day that is purely American.

There is no language like the Irish for soothing and quieting.

What is there more kindly than the feeling between host and guest?

Let our New Year's resolution be this: we will be there for one another as fellow members of humanity in the finest sense of the word.

Motherhood: All love begins and ends there.

While there are towns and cities still planning Memorial Day parades many have not held a parade in decades. Some think the day is for honoring anyone who has died not just those fallen in service to our country.

There is nothing wrong with America that cannot be cured with what is right in America.

Easter is reflecting upon suffering for one thing but it also reflects upon Jesus and his non compliance in the face of great authority where he holds to his truth - so there's two stories there.

Do we believe that there is equal economic opportunity out there in the real world right now for each and every one of these groups? If we believed in the tooth fairy if we believed in the Easter Bunny we might well believe that.

I cooked at the White House for Easter last year with Michelle Obama. But it more had to do with cooking from the organic garden and her message. I took my daughter and granddaughter there and they were really charming it was great.
