I hope for better things, and I thank God the world is also full of people who want to be genuine and kind.

Only the absolutely determined people succeed.

When you have nobody you can make a cup of tea for, when nobody needs you, that's when I think life is over.

I've been lucky. Opportunities don't often come along. So, when they do, you have to grab them.

If my world were to cave in tomorrow, I would look back on all the pleasures, excitements and worthwhilenesses I have been lucky enough to have had. Not the sadness, not my miscarriages or my father leaving home, but the joy of everything else. It will have been enough.

To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow.

True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul.
