I never know how much of what I say is true.

I bear no grudges. I have a mind that retains nothing.

[On Princess Anne:] Such an active, outdoorsy lass. She loves nature in spite of what it did to her.

It's the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance. It is the dream afraid of waking that never takes the chance.

From the age of 14 until I was 50, I just got on a treadmill and ran. I never stopped to assess what I was doing or to pat myself on the back.

When I turned 50, I threw myself a big birthday party, and I looked seriously at what my life has been about. I recommend this to everybody. Ask yourself, "What have I done? How did I do it? Where'd I mess up? Where did I do well?" When I did this assessment of my life, I said to myself, "It was really good." I made a lot of people laugh, made a lot of people cry in a good way, brought a lot of joy to people, picked up a lot of garbage. And in all those years, I saw a lot. I went to foreign lands. I met interesting people. And I got it!

When it's three o'clock in New York, it's still 1938 in London.
