MARY ELIZABETH DONALDSON

To be happy is, I guess, the most important thing in life.

I mean, every child at one stage dreams of being a prince or a princess.

At 40 years old you simply know what life is about.

Time becomes more precious when you have children.

Of course we have Queen Elizabeth as head of state, but in many ways we are a kind of republic. We don't have royals in Australia, so it was kind of unusual to run into those kind of people. But aside from that it was quite ordinary.

I think it is nice to get older.

There's not as many people as one would think you can be completely open with.

I am, more than anything else, happy.

Seven years is a long time, and he was there for me, when my mum died. He was very compassionate at that time. I couldn't have found anyone better in that situation.

My mother would do anything for her children. And that's how I am too.

The world is so different for a child, waking in the mornings, wide-eyed and ready to take it all in.

That boundless freedom of childhood is so wonderful.

Seven years is a long time, and he was there for me, when my mum died. He was very compassionate at that time. I couldn't have found anyone better in that situation.

Naturally, I do things my own way but I'm certainly influenced by my mother's way of doing things.

I don't think about my physical age.
