I realize that most of us live on the skin - on the surface - without appreciating just how wonderful it is simply to be alive at all.

And...I think that's what life is all about, actually, about children and flowers.

For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.

I have learnt how to live…how to be in the world and of the world, and not just to stand aside and watch.

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.

You can only hope to get a combination of happy work and a happy life.

True friends are families which you can select.
