No woman in my time will be prime minister or chancellor or foreign secretary - not the top jobs. Anyway, I wouldn't want to be prime minister; you have to give yourself 100 percent.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Yes, I don't think I shall ever become Prime Minister. Hard as that is to swallow, I tell you one person who is very happy always to see me say that, and that's my wife.
I have no ambitions to be a cabinet minister, or prime minister. I wouldn't wish being prime minister on my worst enemy.
Maybe someday we'll have a woman president. Not me, though.
I would like to become the prime minister, do the job for two years, and then leave and devote myself to public work.
I am a woman, I am a housewife, I am a government official, I've been twice a government secretary, I've been leader of a parliamentary group, I am an economist.
I grew up thinking that if I wanted to go be prime minister, I could.
I don't want to be Prime Minister of England, I want to be Prime Minister of the whole of the United Kingdom.
I stand here today as the first woman first minister of our country. Every day I hold this office, I will work to ensure that every woman, every wee girl across this country, gets a chance to do what I've done and follow their dream.
I want to be America's Margaret Thatcher. I will be the next Iron Lady.
Of course I'd have loved to be Prime Minister. But I'm not nursing a grievance.
