I start each book when it's ready and never before.
I don't think people should do things because you know, 'I am turning this age, I must go have a husband.' If you find somebody and it works out then have kids, it's very nice. But if you don't, you don't.
I kept turning down roles because I knew I just wasn't ready for them.
Somewhere down the road, if a Senate seat were to open, yeah, it's something I'd certainly take a look at. But that's got to be right in time for me and my family.
I had babies at the age of 43 because sometimes you get so caught up, you are making your life, building your career and may be you don't want to get married.
I feel after 'Pink' my time has come.
I would encourage anybody struggling with their sexuality to go with their heart. If it's not an appropriate time, there will be one later. Never, ever try to rush into anything - do it in your own time.
I believe that victims of sexual harassment must be allowed to tell their story on their time, in their own way.
You have to forget about what other people say, when you're supposed to die, or when you're supposed to be loving. You have to forget about all these things.
Not everybody comes out when they're in their twenties, you know?
Being a novelist and being a mother have exactly coincided in my life: the call from my agent saying that I had a contract for my first novel - that was on my answering phone message when I got back from the hospital with my first child.
When I feel like it's time for me to say something and it's time for me to speak up and allow my emotions to get into the games and practice, then I will say something.
I would love to turn producer someday but the time has to be right.
I always took 'Coronation Street' a year at a time anyway. It was the 50th anniversary; I'd been there five years. It just felt right to leave.
I think it's impossible to judge whether another person should come out. You just hope they will on their own time and their own terms.
I have a lot to show as an actor, and I will take my own sweet time for that.
I've had a great time coaching teams in these various T20 tournaments but that involvement obviously only lasts for a finite period. I just felt I was too young to be doing what I was doing.
Other actors are not my concern, and that's their life and that's their journey. Everybody has to get to a point in their own time and their own way.
I definitely want to be a mum. Lots of my friends are having babies, but I don't know quite when to do it. My mum says, 'There's never a right time; you've just got to get on with it'.
Follow your compass, not your clock.
I turned down a lot of films before I made my first one. I knew that it was time for me to get into movies.
All in all, for someone who was immersed in, fascinated by, and dedicated to flight, I was disappointed by the wrinkle in history that had brought me along one generation late. I had missed all the great times and adventures in flight.
There's so much pressure to be at a certain level in your job and at a certain place in your life, but if everyone was doing things at the same time, then life would be so boring. Everyone reaches different stages at different times.
With music, I wasn't curious anymore. There was no dialogue. By the time I stopped, I knew it wasn't going to be gone forever, but it just wasn't the right time for me to care about that.
After a Sunday night game, what I do is I usually wait like a day and a half before going on Twitter.
