I'm aware that beyond my own need to find a personal balance, I should be sending a signal to society as women's minister about the importance of work-life balance.

We need everyone to be a feminist. Feminism is the fight for the equality of sexes, not for the domination of one sex over another.

It's important to understand that one gender is not superior to the other.

School is at once a place of hope, but it's also a laboratory that exposes our differences.

I grew up thinking, 'You go to university, you get your degree, you get a job, you get married and then you have a family.' But when I got to the point in my life where I had all those things, and was looking to start a family, I was miserable. I realised I didn't want kids.

When I was a kid a long time ago, when the sun rose, I was outside on my bike. If my parents were lucky - poor parents! - I would be home before it got dark.

I set out to tell my story, which is based on my family. Dr. Cosby told his story in 'The Cosby Show.' The comparisons stop there in terms of my creation of the show. We just both happen to have black fathers at the center of it.

Any MP has to have a proper family life, they have to have support of their partner.
