As a little girl, I used to write stories, but by my teenage years, I got out of the habit.

I know some writers are meticulous planners, but I'm not one of them.

I love 19th century fiction and, in particular, fiction written by and about women.

The skill of a gifted actor, their ability to interpret and develop a character and truly bring her or him to life, is one that I admire enormously.

At the beginning of my career, I worked for a lot of people who nobody knew, who have come up to be people that everybody knows.

It was a great time in my career, playing for Barcelona with the best players in the world, in the best team in the world at that moment. It was amazing for me. I can always say to anyone that I played at Barcelona with Messi, with Xavi, with Iniesta, with Pedro, with Pique. And we won a lot of trophies.

The beauty about my career is that none of it was really calculated.

I have sacrificed everything in my life that I consider precious to advance the political career of my husband.
