No one else knows the whole story. I was there. I lived through it.

If I don't tell it all now, the story in the history books will always be imperfect and that would be wrong.

I'm terrified of men these days. If someone asked me out now, I don't know what I'd say, how I'd react. But I couldn't go through with it, not at all. I suppose I've been terrified of them all along.

It's been a misery for me, living with Christine Keeler.

Discretion is the polite word for hypocrisy.

He had a way with him. Before you had a chance to say no, he was there and done. That only happened to me once before, with a duke, who literally swept me off my feet, and before I knew what was happening, we'd done it. Another terrible mistake.

We knew we were talking about spies. I knew he knew I knew. I was digging my own grave.

They wanted to hear about the sex, of course. But not the rest; no one wanted to hear the rest.

My mother used to go out on her own, and I used to have to keep a look out for my stepfather coming home.

They came and bound me up and I had awful stretch marks. I hated my breasts after that.

I never found anyone who was good enough, who I could trust enough.

As a little girl I used to daydream about my real father coming on a white horse to rescue me.

I don't know if he was the fourth man or the fifth, but he was certainly in the top 10.

I have always been free with my love - it is my nature. I am easily captivated by men and they have always been attracted to me.

I went out every single night so I was never alone with my stepfather. At 12, I stopped going on holiday with them. The times I was alone with him I always made sure I was all covered up.

Men, all men, were always trying to get hold of me, you know.

I have survived and possibly I should not hope for more than that.

He's 85 and he's met another woman. Still, at 85, why ever not?

Even a criminal has the right to a new life, but they made sure I did not have that. They just didn't stop calling me a prostitute for ever and ever and ever and ever.

I enjoyed sex and indulged in it when I fancied the men.

However I dress it up, I was a spy and I am not proud of it.

I took on the sins of everybody, of a generation, really.

One way of reading my life is that I have been in constant search for a father.

The fathers, if they got me alone, would try to kiss and fondle me. I hated it.

I won't say I didn't like it at the time, the sex, that is, because I wouldn't have let him do it at all if that had been the case.

Bill Astor knew these papers were missing. Stephen showed his hand in October.

No one else knows the whole story. I was there. I lived through it.

Behind many acts that are thought ridiculous there lie wise and weighty motives.

To put it simply, the lizard brain is purely concerned with survival.

You're playing a character in a drama who happens to be based on someone who existed. It's never going to 'be' that person, but it's based on someone well-known, and you want to create enough of that person for it not to be a distraction.

When we started EA in 1982, our goal was to make games as big a media as visual entertainment or movies. That was how big we dreamed at the time.

Technology is anything that wasn't around when you were born.

Most of our fans seem to be very intelligent people who don't stand out too much, but they're still total freaks. I like that - they're smart and sadistic, which I think is a reflection at us.

Im sick and tired of being sick and tired.

Don't use a lot where a little will do.

I almost never cry, and it's something I don't like about myself. I sometimes try and make myself cry. Sometimes, when I'm in pain, I say if I could just cry it would make it so much easier.

There is no kind way to rip the skin off animals' backs. Anyone who wears any fur shares the blame for the torture and gruesome deaths of millions of animals each year.

Altruism is innate, but it's not instinctual. Everybody's wired for it, but a switch has to be flipped.

I realize that, to many readers, Hard Fantasy may seem to be a contradiction in terms. Fantasy, according to most generally recognized definitions, differs from both 'real world' fiction and 'science fiction' in that magic or magical creatures are active elements.

Don't be afraid to express yourself through fashion!

People will forget what you said, people will forget what you do, but people will never forget how you made them feel.

Oh gosh, I noticed dramatic changes in my body after I started doing yoga, but I also think you have to shake things up.

Breaking accepted rules does bring people together.

When you start comparing with others you fall into a trap with no way out.

I get up about four times a night and go back to sleep, or not. Then I swill tea around 8 a.m. I answer e-mail, while I stall thinking about whatever scares me.

Time has shown that Paradise is not cheap, and neither is Hell unnecessary.

I think somehow men understand other men's need for respect differently than they understand it for a woman. I'm disappointed to have to say that, but I think it's undeniably true.

I went through the extremes of amazing notoriety and also the dreaded things that you never thought you'd have to live through. Not everything works the way you want it to, but if I sit back and think, 'Am I happy about this?' Yeah. I wouldn't have done anything any better.

Fascinated by history during my secondary education, then by physics and mechanics at the Ecole Polytechnique, I finally entered the national administration of mines in 1936.
