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.'

A gift consists not in what is done or given, but in the intention of the giver or doer.

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.'

Our birthdays are feathers in the broad wing of time.

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

Success is like reaching an important birthday and finding you're exactly the same.

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

Let us celebrate the occasion with wine and sweet words.

Your children need your presence more than your presents.
