I've always believed in the adage that the secret of eternal youth is arrested development.

You can't make souffle rise twice.

If you have nothing good to say about anyone, come and sit with me.

I valued my independence from an early age and was always something of a individualist … Well, a show-off anyway.

If you can't say something nice about someone, come and sit right here next to me.

My father always wanted to be the corpse at every funeral, the bride at every wedding and the baby at every christening.

If you haven't got anything nice to say about anybody, come sit next to me.
