You are the song of every bird, you are the poet's every word, every artist's picture, every writer's play.

When I sit back in my rocking chair someday, I want to be able to say I've done it all.

I never tried quitting, and I never quit trying.

Children have always responded to me because I have that cartoon-character look.

Storms make trees take deeper roots.

I still believe in Santa, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy and true love. Don't even try to tell me different.

To me it's a two-way street. They're good to me, and I'm good to them. It's a natural thing for me to love people, and I think people sense it. ... I am secure with the kind of person I am. I don't feel like I'm better than anyone, but I'm just as good as anyone.
