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

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

The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate.

All the world is birthday cake, so take a piece, but not too much.

Your children need your presence more than your presents.

I do like to shock and surprise people. When it's all in good fun, of course.

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.

Thirty was so strange for me. I've really had to come to terms with the fact that I am now a walking and talking adult.

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

Let us celebrate the occasion with wine and sweet words.
