When I was a child, I dreaded blindness. We used to ask: ‘Would we rather be blind or deaf?’ I said I’d rather be blind, even though I was scared of it. I couldn’t bear not being able to hear music or talk to people Picture Quote #1

Yes - I am usually overweight. I have had to be interested in diet because of being diabetic for 30 years and having kidney failure Picture Quote #1

People down on their luck deserve the best: beautiful surroundings and well-paid professional staff to help them out of their difficulties. Why not train thousands more social workers and let them sit in on claimants’ interviews? Picture Quote #1

I must have been a very strange child. I was very pretentious. Like Adrian Mole Picture Quote #1

I always write back to people who are kind enough to write to me. Actually, I don’t write - I recline on my red velvet sofa with my feet on the coffee table and dictate the letters to my eldest son Picture Quote #1

I don’t know why women are so mad about flowers. Personally, they leave me cold. I prefer trees Picture Quote #1

Being poor with three small children is terrifying. You can’t make any plans. You know you’re not going on holiday, ever. There’s no way you could ever afford driving lessons or a car. And the guilt I used to feel: they had holes in their shoes, and at one point, I had to send them to school wearing Wellingtons when the sun was shining Picture Quote #1

I never imagined when I began writing in the early 1960s I’d become professional and my life would be transformed Picture Quote #1

In the early days, it was, you know, I used to weep while I was writing. I used to grab at any kind of anything, any hint, any tip of how to make it easy Picture Quote #1

My dark secrets are life threatening. Pockets of unhappiness set in aspic that build and build. I have this primitive feeling that if something good happens, it is going to be followed by something bad. There is always a price to pay Picture Quote #1

I always have this image of a woman running across a desert carrying children, trying to find water and food, not knowing when they’ll get that. And her feet are slashed up from the dry, hard earth... Even when I’m uncomfortable, sometimes in pain, or just cold... I think, ‘Thank God for what I’ve got.’ Picture Quote #1

I always wanted to be Jo in ‘Little Women.’ She’s a bit reckless and feckless, always getting into trouble like me. But I’m probably more like Madame Bovary Picture Quote #1

I became an insomniac, really, hardly slept at all, didn’t even try to. And it’s carried on. I hate to say I only need as much sleep as Mrs. Thatcher, but I can cope really well on five hours Picture Quote #1
