“After Mary Queen of Scots, I turned to the farthest subject possible: ...” — Antonia Fraser Quote

After Mary Queen of Scots, I turned to the farthest subject possible: Cromwell.

King Charles II liked women's company and well as making love to them.

I can't read historical fiction because I find the real thing so much more interesting.

I think there has been a great deal of valuable revisionism in women's history.

I think crime writing is my link with trying to preserve a sort of order.

I want to connect with my fans the way Mary J. Blige's fans connect with her.

'Proud Mary' was the best song for me to perform because it was so much fun.

'The Mary Tyler Moore Show' was the best television, the best cast, the best-written television show ever.

I really never saw an obstacle for me in taking leadership positions because, in a very ridiculous way, I thought, 'If Mary Robinson can do it then why can't I?'

I really want to produce a record for Mary J. Blige.
