It's such a natural consequence that you end up being more political.

So you're automatically drawn to that aspect in the rest of your life.”

“To a psychoanalyst, a woman pilot, particularly a married one with children, must prove an interesting as well as an inexhaustible subject. Torn between two loves, emotionally confused, the desire to fly an incurable disease eating out your life in the slow torture of frustration-she cannot be a simple, natural personality.”
