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

A diplomat is a man who always remembers a woman's birthday but never remembers her age.

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.

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

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

I hate birthdays.

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

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.

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