Handmade presents are scary because they reveal that you have too much free time.

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.

Your children need your presence more than your presents.

You know you're getting old when the candles cost more than the cake.

The way I see it, you should live everyday like its your birthday.

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

I hate birthdays.

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.'

The greatest gift that you can give to others is the gift of unconditional love and acceptance.
