Samantha: No matter what happens to you in your life, no matter what your circumstances are now or whenever, your soul fundamentally stays the same. I believe you make who you are before you get here, basically.
Samantha: I think it's ridiculous that paedophiles get three months in prison when they rape a two year old. It's absolutely corrupt and this government has got to sort itself out, I'll tell you that now… It's mind boggling that somebody can get five years for having a bag of ecstasy in their own house but you can abuse kiddies and get two years.
