I've now been in this country for thirteen years, since I was seventeen. So this is my second home.

A seventeenth-century house tends to be short on frills like hallways and closets; you must improvise.

I feel very much at home in the early nineteenth century and am not inclined to leave it.

I've stayed in houses that were in the country, and in England, but I'm still not sure that I've stayed in an English country house.

I live in the house my great-grandfather moved to in 1865... I spent all my summers here as a kid haying with my grandfather, and it was my favorite place in the world.

The house I grew up in was a tall Victorian town house in Bristol. There were very big rooms, which were under-furnished and always cold.

I have been very happy with my homes, but homes really are no more than the people who live in them.

I haven't become an American! Having a house in LA is just where the house is. It's just a convenience thing living there. I carry Wales around inside me. I'd consider moving back there one day. I never really left.

My childhood was a happy one, spent in a tall house in South Kensington and later in East Sussex, but my early and mid teens were less successful.

The Governor's Mansion is a beautiful home, a beautiful building - we're privileged to have a chance to live there. It certainly doesn't feel as comfortable as our home.
