I believe in living each day as it comes, to the best of my ability. When it's done, I put it away, remembering that there will be a tomorrow to take it's place. If I have any philosophy, that's it. To me it's not a fatalistic attitude.

When two people love each other, they don't look at each other, they look in the same direction.

I cannot abide stupidity, in myself or in others.

There's a verse in the Bible: 'Those who are barren have more children than those who give birth.' There are young people all over the world who come to me for advice and love. I have all the children I can handle.

My mother told me I was dancing before I was born. She could feel my toes tapping wildly inside her for months.

You've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything.
