Death is nothing at all. I have only slipped away into the next room.

They [granddaughters] went to Disneyland and Alice proudly told Snow White: 'My grandmother is a famous atlas!' So that's nice - they're happy that I'm an atlas!

I've got lots of good friends. I could have affairs. I can read a book all night, put the cat on the end of the bed. I can pick up my passport and go to France. I don't have to ask anybody.

I've never felt the constraints of social acceptability.

NASA space scientists have been studying giraffe skin so they can apply what they learn from it to the construction of spacesuits.

I dont think men are that attracted by glamour. I think women are attracted by glamour. I think men are attracted by a sense of friendship.

I was once kissed on the lips by a giraffe, and I don't think I've ever got over it.
