I am never at my best in the early morning especially a cold morning in the Yorkshire spring with a piercing March wind sweeping down from the fells finding its way inside my clothing nipping at my nose and ears.

Look we know we screwed up when we were in the majority. We fell in love with power. We spent way too much money - especially on earmarks. There was too much corruption when we ran this place. We were guilty. And that's why we lost.

My mom came from such humble beginnings and especially my dad as well. He didn't go to university.

The problem with me is anything that's easy I will just overdo it. Especially with clothes. But I'm 14 - my mom is super-strict about that.

My mom is at my house every day and she nags me about everything especially hygiene.

My parents especially my mother were no influence on me whatsoever.

Being the boss anywhere is lonely. Being a female boss in a world of mostly men is especially so.

Mothers - especially single mothers - are heroic in their efforts to raise our nation's children but men must also take responsibility for their children and recognize the impact they have on their families' well-being.

Cross-cultural marriage is difficult especially when one person has to live in another country. But I thought there was a very good chance of it working because people grow together if they have a common passion.

I think even in a good marriage especially if you stay together long enough there are going to be events that happen.
