I've been blessed to be at the right place at the right time.

Feed the body food and drink, it will survive today. Feed the soul art and music, it will live forever.

Use your knowledge, and your heart, to stand up for those who can't stand, speak for those who can't speak, be a beacon of light for those whose lives have become dark.

Leave every place you go, everything you touch, a little better for your having been there.

I have always wished I could learn to be a potter. I love collecting ceramics; it would be so fulfilling to create something lovely.

Behaving like a princess is work. It's not just about looking beautiful or wearing a crown. It's more about how you are inside.
