It was easy to persecute me without people feeling ashamed. It was easy to vilify me and project me as a woman who was not following the tradition of a 'good African woman' and as a highly educated elitist who was trying to show innocent African women ways of doing things that were not acceptable to African men.

There's very little advice in men's magazines because men don't think there's a lot they don't know. Women do. Women want to learn. Men think 'I know what I'm doing just show me somebody naked.'

I'm for women choosing whatever they want to do but they have to really know what they are doing.

Women rule the world. It's not really worth fighting because they know what they're doing. Ask Napoleon. Ask Adam. Ask Richard Burton or Richie Sambora. Many a man has crumbled.

People don't want to see women doing things they don't think women should do.

Earthly wisdom is doing what comes naturally. Godly wisdom is doing what the Holy Spirit compels us to do.

Wisdom is knowing what to do next virtue is doing it.

A mistake is simply another way of doing things.

I felt very unstressed on my wedding day. I'm very grateful for that... spending the day on my own being super quiet and happy and just puttering around doing my own thing.

I have a crusade against fondant also shortening. There's no reason why wedding cakes can't taste good if you know what you're doing.

I'd been a wedding singer through college but after a few years of doing my best renditions of jazz standards to clinking glasses and the sound of forks on salad I thought 'Oh God if this is all I do I'll never be able to live with myself.'

I love doing comedy. Absolutely love it. After 'Wedding Crashers ' people suddenly realized that it was something I could do.

No I chose the name Jane Seymour because I was doing my first film 'Ode to Lovely War ' and one of the top agents in England spotted me dancing in the chorus. I was a singer and dancer in that movie with Maggie Smith um and he told me he couldn't sell me as Joyce Penelope Willomena Frankenburger.

I believe the war on terror is the vital discussion of this decade and of our generation probably. To win the war on terror you need a good offense and a good defense. On defense I regret to say basically this administration has not come close to doing what is necessary.

It was my duty to shoot the enemy and I don't regret it. My regrets are for the people I couldn't save: Marines soldiers buddies. I'm not naive and I don't romanticize war. The worst moments of my life have come as a SEAL. But I can stand before God with a clear conscience about doing my job.

After every major conflict - World War I World War II Korea Vietnam the fall of the Soviet Union - what happened was that we ultimately hollowed out the force largely by doing deep across-the-board cuts.

Bad things do happen in the world like war natural disasters disease. But out of those situations always arise stories of ordinary people doing extraordinary things.

The war on terror is the most insane and immoral war of all time. The Americans are doing what they did in Vietnam bombing villages. But how can a civilised nation do this? How can you can eliminate suspects their wives their children their families their neighbours? How can you justify this?

As a result of my philosophy I wasn't even upset about Hitler. I was willing to go to war to knock him off but I didn't hate him. I hated what he was doing.

The truth is that I'm constitutionally incapable of doing an ordinary job.

Also I used to think that one day I might get someone to iron my shirts but the truth is I really like doing them myself.

When you're caught up in the storm or you know just the turmoil of everything that there is another side and you do get through it. And you know just standing by the truth and doing the right thing.

Truth is always in harmony with herself and is not concerned chiefly to reveal the justice that may consist with wrong-doing.

The truth of the matter is that you always know the right thing to do. The hard part is doing it.
