The trouble is, once you say something about a source, then you’ve pegged it down, and so now I’m reluctant to say anything. If I say I developed 50 different shapes from Mississippian tumuli, that doesn’t mean they’re copies of tumuli – I’m not ripping off those shapes.

The trouble with anyone when they’re unhappy or in a relationship they recognize is not working but don’t know what to do about is that they can’t see farther out than that. If the relationship is not working, if what was there isn’t there anymore, you have to do something about it.

I had trouble making friends because we moved around so much.
In the ’80s and ’90s, I was really interested in, moved by, exhilarated by, and troubled by rap in all the ways a white person from Brookline, Massachusetts should be. That was music that was making trouble, and it was interesting and provocative trouble.
I don’t believe in luck. Not in golf, anyway. There are good bounces and bad bounces, sure, but the ball is round and so is the hole. If you find yourself in a position where you hope for luck to pull you through, you’re in serious trouble.
I decided he’d changed so much that a whole new book was required and that book actually I can say so was the first to say that the marriage was in trouble and the Prince didn’t like at all and my book was being serialized in the Sunday Times over five weeks.

The minute I put my leg on a horse and say, ‘Come on, let’s go,’ I absolutely believe that the horse and I can do it and that we will do it. And I am always shocked when we actually don’t do it. If the analytical mind ever overrode that optimist in me, I’d be in some serious trouble.

When I became finance minister, they called me Okonjo-Wahala – or ‘Trouble Woman.’ It means ‘I give you hell.’ But I don’t care what names they call me.
