Rachel Johnson Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Rachel Johnson:

If you tell the truth you get into trouble, and that's why politicians are extremely dull.

There was a time when no difficult subjects were ever aired in the 'Lady', and sadly, life isn't like that.

It's very hard to self-motivate without someone standing over you snarling, ready to hurl the chalk at your head at the slightest slackening.

I do not think that having children - I have three teenagers - keeps you young. The reverse. It thrusts you into a full-frontal confrontation with your own all-too-obvious maturity.

Of one thing there is no doubt: if Paris makes demands of the heart, then Munich makes demands of the stomach.

'The Lady' is a piddling little magazine that no one cares about or buys.

Of course I'm naughty. I've always had to compete for attention, you see.
