I always carry a pair of scissors around with me to cut things out of magazines.
From Sally Phillips
If you get 10,000 guys to put their ideal woman into a computer, it still comes out looking like Angelina Jolie.
I've got spider veins all over my legs, so I wear opaque tights all winter. All sorts of colours.
All I want to do really is get married and be a matriarch.
I wasn't hugely popular at school. In fact, I was bullied at school.
Once you have a Down's syndrome child, you can't conform. In a way, you're free.
Getting a new passport took me a stupid amount of time. I had to go back five times with different photographs because they kept saying I was smiling, which is against the rules. I was not smiling.
What having a Down's syndrome child isn't - and I feel very strongly about this - is a tragedy. All those pregnancy books you read when you are expecting refer to Down's syndrome as if it were the worst possible outcome, and it's not.
My blood runs cold when I hear the 'great news' that we have found a marker for the Down's syndrome gene, which means we can identify it more easily. Why is that good news? It's only good news if you're going to terminate.
I tell people that I'm a Christian, but I don't think it's giving an insight into who I am or what I'm about.
