I'm not materialistic. I believe in presents from the heart, like a drawing that a child does.

I remember when the candle shop burned down. Everyone stood around singing 'Happy Birthday.'

When someone asks if you'd like cake or pie, why not say you want cake and pie?

If you can give your child only one gift, let it be enthusiasm.

I think, at a child's birth, if a mother could ask a fairy godmother to endow it with the most useful gift, that gift should be curiosity.

Like many women my age, I am 28 years old.

God gave us the gift of life it is up to us to give ourselves the gift of living well.

How old would you be if you didn't know how old you are?

It is lovely, when I forget all birthdays, including my own, to find that somebody remembers me.

You know you're getting old when you get that one candle on the cake. It's like, 'See if you can blow this out.'
