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

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

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

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.

Your children need your presence more than your presents.

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.

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

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

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.
