I hate birthdays.

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

I wanted to buy a candle holder, but the store didn't have one. So I got a cake.

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.

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.'

A friend never defends a husband who gets his wife an electric skillet for her birthday.

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.

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

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

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