• I'd really like people to see me as a real actress, which I am, but they don't. It's hard to get them to see me as a musician, they just see me as a hanger-on to the Stones, which is not what I am at all. It's a good idea, and if something like that would turn up I could do a whole television show. I've thought about playing a landlady, sort of a mad '60s lady, this absolutely insane character. I would love it. It's a great idea.

A lot of times people have great ideas, but don't have a plan. The whole thing about being an entrepreneur is you have to have a plan.

• The whole of God is present at every point in space at the same time. Take time to meditate on this great idea. In other words, God doesn't come and go.

God is always present, totally present - as a Presence.

You have taken an oath of allegiance to a great ideal, to a great body of principles, to a great hope of the human race.
