Ester Dean

I always wanted to be a psychiatrist.

There are lots of people way more talented than me - but I work more, and I wanted it more. I never waited on anyone else.

I'm limitless, spontaneous and fearless. I can take direction and also give it. And I don't dwell on celebrity.

I want the BBC to be a mass market public service broadcaster still funded by the licence fee... and the licence fee is more durable than many people in the commercial sector believe.

Women ought to be fully guarded by law in all rights of property, labor, profession, etc.; but, roughly stated, the voting population ought to represent the fighting population.

I've always been very determined, ever since I was a little girl, to make my way.
