There are times I wish I was more conventional. I would get a husband and a baby and a big SUV in the 'burbs and be happy. But forging my own way - my career, my relationships with wonderful but troubled people - that's who I am.

I would rather be a fairly happy wife and mother.

Women, you can have it all - a loving man, devoted husband, loving children, a fabulous career.

I choose the likely man in preference to the rich man; I want a man without money rather than money without a man.

My wife was my greatest asset. I didn't marry her until after World War II, but she has complemented me in every job I've ever had.

I like being able to go to the supermarket and go on the Tube and have an ordinary domestic life. I'd hate to have to protect myself. I'm quite lucky that I can carry on without any intrusions. I don't get given a hard time by anyone.

My home life now is mostly women. They are better than us. They make me better.

My belief is that my wife should be at home looking after my kids and cooking and cleaning. She's a very privileged woman to have a husband like me. Not everyone's in her position, but the ones who are are very lucky. That's my opinion.

I'm very domestic; I love cleaning. I love cooking. I like waiting on people. I just like to make things. I don't break that down to be weakness, or the only things women can do, or putting me back 20 years.

I would rather be a beggar and single than a queen and married.
