I have always had a reputation for being frugal - less kind people might call me cheap. But my interest in building up a nest egg goes back to those days in Arnhem when I learned that money can grow, just like trees.

And I always heard people in New York never get to know their neighbors.

I believe, every day, you should have at least one exquisite moment.

My greatest ambition is to have a career without becoming a career woman.

I heard a definition once: Happiness is health and a short memory! I wish I'd invented it, because it is very true.

Only the absolutely determined people succeed.

I tried always to do better: saw always a little further. I tried to stretch myself.
