Everyone thinks my story should be marked by heroism, but there was no risk to myself. You see, no-one in Prague at that time thought they were going to be at war with England.Collection: War
I respond very easily to outside events. One's life is a matter of chance. Nothing that you've arranged for yourself works out.Collection: Chance
I work on the motto that if something's not impossible, there must be a way to do it.Collection: Work
Some people revel in taking risks, and some go through life taking no risks at all.
I know crowds of people who go to church and the synagogue who aren't religious.
I've always enjoyed doing work that intrudes, or helps people.
Ever since I was quite young, I was in St. John's Ambulance or the Red Cross; latterly, I've been involved in voluntary work with the mentally handicapped and Abbeyfield Old People's Homes.
I wasn't heroic because I was never in danger.
It gets a bit boring talking about the same thing for a hundred years.
