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

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

Your children need your presence more than your presents.

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

Let us celebrate the occasion with wine and sweet words.

For my birthday I got a humidifier and a de-humidifier... I put them in the same room and let them fight it out.

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.'

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.

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