Princess Diana

I'm just trying to survive.

I like to be a free spirit. Some don’t like that, but that’s the way I am.

I wear my heart on my sleeve.

I’d like to be a queen in people’s hearts.

I’m as thick as a plank.

HIV does not make people dangerous to know. You can shake their hands and give them a hug. Heaven knows they need it.

I want to walk into a room, be it a hospital for the dying or a hospital for the sick children, and feel that I am needed.

They say it’s better to be poor and happy than rich and miserable, but what about something in between?

Any husband, by any wife, would have felt threatened by that.

The pressure was unbearable. It was like I was drowning.

I was just so desperate. I knew what was going on, and nobody else seemed to care.

I'd like to be a free spirit, not a puppet.

I will fight for my children, and I will fight for my future.

I just want to do my job.

I think the British people need someone to put them in touch with their own problems and their own difficulties.

I've started to understand that I'm very good at being a princess.

I wanted to help people, and I still want to help people. But I was misunderstood.

I don't think I'll ever be Queen, and I don't want to be.

I don't want to be the greatest Queen, I want to be the greatest mother.

I was very, very sick. I was bulimic for years. And that's a secret that was kept from everybody.
