I really see myself as a homegirl. Wales is my first home. London is my second home - I've been there 14 years now.

I am delighted to be back home in Galway the place I first came to as a 19-year-old in 1960. It's here where my heart is and will forever be.

No I can tell you one of the first things that happens to a home secretary when they arrive in the job is that they are given a briefing about the security matters that they will be dealing with and I deal with security matters on a daily basis.

But Vegas is really my first home.

The first presentation of my show was given in May 1883 at Omaha which I had then chosen as my home. From there we made our first summer tour visiting practically every important city in the country.

A sold-out house my first night back. Do you have any idea what kinda pressure that is? I could have been at home in my warm bed playing Nintendo.

My first holiday to San Francisco in 1998-99 was supposed to be a two-week vacation but I ended up staying five weeks and nearly didn't come home.

For my wrap present Colin Farrell gave me a first edition book. I got so involved with this character and I was so sad when the movie was over that when I got home and I tried to read the book I got really emotional and I started crying.

I've been thinking a lot about next year which will be the first time in 25 years that I don't have a child at home.

I'm most at home on the stage. I was carried onstage for the first time when I was six months old.
