- [on how she relaxes] I have to think of the positive; that's how I cope. But I like a good London Times crossword and a cup of tea - that makes me happy. And I love walking someone else's dog. I don't have the luxury of having a dog myself because I travel too much, but I love walking and cuddling somebody else's dog. I just came back from the shelter today and they let me walk three dogs at lunchtime. It was great.
- Even if animal research resulted in a cure for AIDS, we'd be against it.
