I do have some understanding I think, a little, of what people go through with these horrors.
I can't tell you with what joy I have looked forward to coming back to Fiji.
That's so amazing, fantastic, it's so very nice of you to come today, I'm thrilled.
It's funny, the influence that women can have on getting us men sorted out is enormous.
That's called a microphone. It's a big sausage that picks up everything you say - and you're starting early.
There is very good evidence indeed that one of the major reasons for this horror in Syria was a drought that lasted for about five or six years, which meant that huge numbers of people in the end had to leave the land.
If you think about your and my grandchildren, this is what really worries me. I don't want them - if I'm still alive by then - to say, 'Why didn't you do something about it?', when you could have done.
I was totally absorbed. I was in another world, or another dimension; all sense of time evaporated.
I miss my grandmother every day. I miss her vitality, her interest in the lives of others, her courage and determination, her perceptive wisdom, her calm in the face of all difficulties, her steadfast belief in the British people and above all her unstoppable sense of mischievous humour.
Your greatest achievement is to love me.
Personally, I have been very impressed by the slow food movement. It is about celebrating the culture of food, of sharing the extraordinary knowledge, developed over millennia, of the traditions involved with quality food production, of the sheer joy and pleasure of consuming food together. Especially within the context of family life, this has to be one of the highest forms of cultural activity.
A large number of us have developed a feeling that architects tend to design houses for the approval of fellow architects and critics, not for the tenants.
Painting transports me into another dimension which, quite literally, refreshes parts of the soul which other activities can't reach.
If you chuck away too many things, you end up discovering there was value in them.
