The assumption that people sometimes make is that I have made a cold, calculated decision to put my career ahead of having family, and that's not true.
From Nicola Sturgeon
Sometimes things happen in life, sometimes they don't. Don't get me wrong: I have no regrets - if I could turn the clock back 10 or 20 years, I wouldn't want to fundamentally change the path my life has taken.
My political awakening, if I can be as grand as to call it that, was all about what was happening around me. It wasn't some romantic, patriotic vision of Scotland going back to what it had been 300 years previously.
I was fascinated, long before I joined the SNP, in the world around me; current affairs really interested me.
I've got absolutely no desire or intention of damaging England.
I am the granddaughter of an English woman. I love England and her people and, regardless of politics, consider you to be family... and always will.
I hope nobody in England is afraid of the SNP - there is absolutely no need to be.
I like Indian takeaway.
Politics is a very male-dominated, male-driven profession. I was not just a woman but a young woman, and I suppose you end up trying to behave in a way that you think is expected of you.
I worry about the direction of the U.K. and U.K. politics and governance in the event of a Brexit.
