Marriage Asian-style is practical, contractual and, to the western mind, deeply unromantic.

In my experience, being busy and working hard is the key to sanity/happiness.

I couldn't define my style; that's impossible. I like comfort and elegance with a bit of glamour thrown in. If I like something, I'll wear it for years.

I went to college because I didn't have anywhere else to go and it was a fabulous hang. And while I was there I was exposed to this world that I didn't know was possible.

It's good to like yourself, and that only comes from hard work, from doing. But vanity is dangerous; it can trip you badly.

When you first come into Parliament, it's a daunting place because you feel you've so much to learn. Once you've been re-elected, you feel much more confident. It just gives you a bit of a boost.
