I read much more that I do anything else. I don't watch too much television, because I like books.

I'm not really big on slapstick humor. I like gentle humor.

I'm not all that big on rides. I sort of like bumper cars but I don't really go to Disneyland all that much unless if have nieces and nephews or people to take.

I had one nanny who made me sit in front of a bowl of porridge for three or four days running when I refused to eat it. I remember being very unhappy about that.

I have two new nephews and a new niece this year, so I have plenty of kids that I can spend time with.

one can't see beauty until one see's life the way it is

Fight for the things that matter to you. Inspire yourself. Believe in the power of positive thinking.

There is no feature as attractive as a well exercised intellect.

On the rue de la Crosse, the Hotel of Bees becomes almost weightless for a moment, lifted in a spiral of flame, before it begins to rain the pieces back to the earth

I refuse to admit I'm more than fifty-two even if that does make my sons illegitimate.

O' the blue-bodied cowherd - ever playful in love and war. Don't you fail to see the immensity of his wisdom and light.

It's been great getting better with you.

The news comes somewhat late, but I'm glad to hear it nevertheless.

Animals behave in set patterns, which is why we are able to hunt and kill them. Only man has the capacity to consciously alter his behavior, to improvise and overcome the weight of routine and habit.
