If there is one thing that is foreign to me it is shopping for pleasure. On the other hand, I believe that it is right to honor all those who create beautiful things and give satisfaction to those who see me wearing them.

The freedom of the press works in such a way that there is not much freedom from it.

I avoid looking back. I prefer good memories to regrets.

I’ve always treated my children as beings in their own right. I respect their feelings and aspirations entirely.

I've had happy moments in my life, but I don't think that happiness-- being happy-- is a perpetual state that anyone can be in. Life isn't that way.

Before my marriage, I didn’t think about all the obligations that were awaiting me. My experience has proved useful and I think that I have a natural propensity to feel compassion for people and their problems.
