Have you noticed how nobody ever looks up? Nobody looks at chimneys, or trees against the sky, or the tops of buildings. Everybody just looks down at the pavement or their shoes. The whole world could pass them by and most people wouldn't notice.

On the whole, I think women wear too much and are to fussy. You can't see the person for all the clutter.

Behaving like a princess is work. It's not just about looking beautiful or wearing a crown. It's more about how you are inside.

I do think, where would kids be if it weren't for you and for the good pediatricians, and for the good parents? I passionately believe in sitting a child on your lap and tracing the lines of the book with your finger, and they can read before they know they can, if you bother enough. I did it with my kids, and they're doing it with their kids now.

Once upon a time, there was a Magic Kingdom made of hopes and childhood fantasies. A timeless place where every land was filled with wonder. A place where everyone who entered its gates would be given the gift of the young at heart.

I play with my grandchildren. I tend to my garden, which I love. Of course, I love to read, and family is really what it's all about.
