But who wants an easy life ? It's boring !

If I were mayor, I'd invite everyone to have free boat trips on the river and free balloon rides over the city. I'd let the elderly in residential homes wander free.

I'd rather live on my own than live with a face that looks at me with the wrong eyes.

My mother was right: When you've got nothing left, all you can do is get into silk underwear and start reading Proust.

I know what it's like to have someone coming home who looks at you not in the way they used to in the old days, and I've seen my own face contorted with sadness and rage in the mirror.

I love Dickens because it makes me chuckle to myself so. He has taken me to another world and out of so many earthly miseries.

Keep smiling - it takes 10 years off!
