Anita Brookner

Time misspent in youth is sometimes all the freedom one ever has.

A man of such obvious and exemplary charm must be a liar.

Real love is a pilgrimage. It happens when there is no strategy, but it is very rare because most people are strategists.

There are lots of things that could be done. We could get more help from the UCI, like forcing Pro-Tour teams to have a women's equivalent.

I love 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' and 'Extras' and also 'The Trip.' That had all the nuances of friendship and finding things out about their lives without it being too much plot-driven.

I have a rigid self-accountability. You have to work hard.
