Elizabeth I

There is one thing higher than Royalty: and that is religion, which causes us to leave the world, and seek God.

My mortal foe can no ways wish me a greater harm than England's hate; neither should death be less welcome unto me than such a mishap betide me.

Though the sex to which I belong is considered weak you will nevertheless find me a rock that bends to no wind.

I have a naturally camp sensibility and a camp sense of humour. I love the icons that gay people love.

I am a big one for subtlety and empathy. My dad was softly spoken and didn't carry his honours and accomplishments for everyone to see.

My husband and I click wedding rings sometimes and say, 'By the power of the Castle of Greyskull!'
