I was born too late and missed the dream of empire. Its shadow, the Commonwealth, coincides with my life but rarely connected with it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
'Empire' was a very traumatic experience for me. It was very schizophrenic, and it wasn't what I expected it to be.
For me, I do not wish to build an empire.
Look to the past and remember no empire rises that sooner or later won't fall.
This empire, unlike any other in the history of the world, has been built primarily through economic manipulation, through cheating, through fraud, through seducing people into our way of life, through the economic hit men. I was very much a part of that.
I've got a lot that I want to do, so I would like to expand my empire, for sure. I love it.
My goal in the beginning was to buy my mother a house. Now I realize, okay, if I really focus and become a key player in business, then I can build an empire.
You know, when I was a girl, the idea that the British Empire could ever end was absolutely inconceivable. And it just disappeared, like all the other empires.
I have behind me not only the splendid traditions and the annals of more than a thousand years but the living strength and majesty of the Commonwealth and Empire; of societies old and new; of lands and races different in history and origins but all, by God's Will, united in spirit and in aim.
Empire and liberty.
I am the Empire at the end of the decadence.
