I want to live my life so that my nights are not full of regrets.

For the happiest life days should be rigorously planned nights left open to chance.

As a relatively young woman - I'm 33 - I hope to one day have a family and already have commitments. If and when I'm elected as an MP I would face a choice: take my family with me to London each week or be apart for four maybe five nights a week.

I found the offer of a knighthood something that I couldn't possibly accept. I found it to be somehow squalid a knighthood. There's a relationship to government about knights.

The sincere friends of this world are as ship lights in the stormiest of nights.

Sometimes I see myself fine sometimes I need a witness. And I like the whole truth but there are nights I only need forgiveness.

By action and reaction do we become strong or weak according to the character of our thoughts and mental states. Fear is the deadly nightshade of the mind.

But for me I thought you made a record you got on a bus went out and played your shows and made a lot of money. That was the way it was supposed to go down. But there's a lot more to it than that. There are a lot of early mornings late nights a lot of traveling a lot of being away from home being away from your family.

I'm always hoping for the nights that are inspired where you almost have an out of body experience.

My dad was a carpenter and I would work with him during the summer and umpire on the nights I wasn't playing.
