My advice if you insist on slimming: Eat as much as you like - just don't swallow it.

Anyone who, for 25 years, has built a career on such tenuous foundations as a high-pitched giggle, a raspberry and a sprinkling of top 'Cs' needs all the friends he can get.

My voice is not so much 'bel canto' as 'can belto'.

I suffer fools gladly because I am one of them.

Hey, you're going to hurt someone if you keep doing that!!!

At last God caught his eye.

Never let the law interfere with justice.

People say 'I don't want to die alone!' But you know what, honestly? I don't want to die with a bunch of people looking at me.

I never kept a diary, but I wrote detailed notes of my travels.

The more deeply we grow into the psalms and the more often we pray them as our own, the more simple and rich will our prayer become.

Trust not what inspires other members of society to choose as a career. Trust what inspires you. From this decision alone will come over a third of your satisfaction or misery in your life.

It's hard to want to let somebody into your house.

The door is closed to prayer unless it is opened with the key of trust.

Your life's short, don't ever question the length / It's cool to cry, don't ever question your strength.

If you expect a bad lie for even one second, the gods will know it and give you a bad lie.
