I've always wanted to be a spy and frankly I'm a little surprised that British intelligence has never approached me.

When I went on to write my next book Working With Emotional Intelligence I wanted to make a business case that the best performers were those people strong in these skills.

So I wanted to sing inspirational music and that's exactly how I approached it - only the words have been changed to declare my relationship with God.

I wanted to do something inspirational for my children.

I've been absolutely terrified every moment of my life - and I've never let it keep me from doing a single thing I wanted to do.

Fairy tales opened up a door into my imagination - they don't conform to the reality that's around you as a child. I started reading when I was three and read everything but I wanted to be an actress.

I always wanted to ride a dragon myself so I decided to do this for a year in my imagination.

I used my imagination to make the grass whatever color I wanted it to be.

But if I have a lot of imagination I could tell myself whatever I wanted you know. I handle myself quite well. I'm kind of fascist with myself you know. There's no discussion. There is an order. You follow it.

I always imagined I could be what I wanted to be.
