“My generation of women was the last for whom marriage and a family were the goal.”

“We met in our hometown of St. Albans when I had just left school and Stephen was starting his Ph.D. studies in Cambridge.”

“We would look up at the night sky together, and although Stephen wasn't actually very good at detecting constellations, he would tell me about the expanding universe and the possibility of it contracting again and describe a star collapsing in on itself to form a black hole in a way that was quite easy to understand.”

“Certainly in my generation, there aren't enough actors from a working-class background.”

“Oh yes, my generation liked to be in some pain when they read. The harder it was, the more good we believed it was doing us.”

“It was weird that I was a young person who was Republican. And I wanted to get at the heart of why it was that so many people of my generation thought that being Republican just wasn't for them. They thought that conservative ideas just weren't for them.”
