Julie when asked if she missed not having children: "Not at all. And I'm surrounded by wonderful quasi-children -- and I didn't have to go through the difficult bit with them. And it seems unconditional love can still be there, even without the bringing up ... It's a marvellous thing, love coming from someone, isn't it? Nothing like it."
