Lady Colin Campbell

“I like men of substance.”

“My mother was a terrible narcissist and I could well have turned out like her.”

“I am a sport. And I don't have a chip on my shoulder.”

“I don't exercise. I just walk my dogs and run up and down the stairs every day because I've got a big house so you have to do that constantly. That's my exercise. Oh and dancing, I like dancing.”

“Overconfidence has never been my problem.”

“You know what men are like when they want to get married, they want to get married.”

“I just want a nice guy who loves me and who I love.”

“I know who Cristiano Ronaldo is and he's a gorgeous looking guy. It would be an obscenity for him even to look at me as anything else but a mother figure while of course it is perfectly OK for me to look at him as a man.”

“My mother was related to four of Jamaica's oldest families, and to say merely that she was out of the top drawer would not convey the quality of her breeding.”

“Once you are born with a handicap, even if the handicap is resolved - as it was in my case - you are left with the benefit of having had it. By contrast, my mother - who had nothing bad happen to her - was a very disabled person. She was an appalling human being who squandered every blessing that God had given her.”

“In our world marriage was the best option for any woman. No girl ever chose to have a career unless she couldn't get a man. It was very much a tertiary life.”

“I think that the Me Too movement, which in some ways has been very good, in other ways, as with everything else, has been very damaging. Because really it has immobilised men. It has really prevented men from being men.”

“I have never slept in a bed with anybody. Even when I was married we slept in separate beds.”

“I'm a kind person.”

“There is no cure for narcissistic personality disorder. If you have a relationship with someone who has it, there will be a certain level of pain built into it. I don't think you can have a close, loving relationship with a narcissist, and I don't think it's possible to be a true narcissist and be a good mother.”

“I have been Lady C since 1974 when I married my husband, Lord Colin Campbell. We may be divorced, but I kept the title - not because it is specifically important to me but simply because it is my name.”

“If you know anything about writing biographies, or what is regarded as a good biography, you have minimum input from the person you are writing about.”

“I don't indulge in the luxury of feeling when necessity requires that we meet a target. One just bucks up and does it.”

“My mother became a big problem... She was a complete narcissist. When I broke free her narcissisticness came out and it was tough to get out.”

“I have loads of secrets to tell all the time.”
