“I think I've been very, very lucky in my life, and I do believe in public service.”

“At 99 and after a long stay in a nursing home, the death of legendary photographer Eve Arnold was hardly a surprise - though she may have been just a little annoyed to quit a few months short of 100.”

“The devices that our kids use are shipped from the factory with every possible audio, visual or vibration alert switched on.

“In public service, not everybody's always going to agree.”

“I certainly feel a strong call of public service.”

“Public service is about serving all the people, including the ones who are not like you.”
