I also didn't consider myself a huge baby person.

A baby! I hated babies. I, who for two and a half years had been the center of a tender universe, felt the axis wrench and a polar chill immobilize my bones. I would be a bystander, a museum mammoth.

I hate the idea of making any of my children into a mini-me. That would be terrible.

I don't dislike babies, though I think very young ones rather disgusting.

Some people aren't great with babies, or they're not great with a smaller child - it's not that they're bad mothers.

I thought I'd have the baby, and get super fit and strong straight away.

When I was a little boy, I rode, but I didn't own horses.

When you're a little kid, you are small, your life is small - and you're terrifically aware of that. But when you read, you can ride Arabian horses across the desert, you can be a dogsledder.

It's kind of fun being the cute, little one. In fact, I'm finding it hard to grow out of that.

Even though I would love a little girl for me, personally, I love being a mom to boys.
