I've always had- how shall I say it? -the prize at the end. My whole life shows that.

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

I'm an introvert... I love being by myself, love being outdoors, love taking a long walk with my dogs and looking at the trees, flowers, the sky.

It is too much to hope that I shall keep up my success. I don't ask for that. All I shall do is my best- and hope.

I was asked to act when I couldn't act. I was asked to sing "Funny Face" when I couldn't sing and dance with Fred Astaire when I couldn't dance and do all kinds of things I wasn't prepared for. Then I tried like mad to cope with it.

Thursday? Oh no, it can't be! It's too gruesome.

I don't believe in collective guilt, but I do believe in collective responsibility.
