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

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

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

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

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

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.

To me - old age is always ten years older than I am.

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

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

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