I'm mainly an airport author, and if you're trying to take your mind off the journey, you're not going to read 'King Lear.'

I was the big, bossy older sister, full of enthusiasms, mad fantasies, desperate urges to be famous, and anxious to be a saint - a settled sort of saint, not one who might have to suffer or die for her faith.

Nobody is ordinary if you know where to look.

I think I was dealt a good hand. I have happy genes.

We're nothing if we're not loved. When you meet somebody who is more important to you than yourself, that has to be the most important thing.

I think you've got to play the hand that you're dealt and stop wishing for another hand.

Happiness is knowing and appreciating what you've got. I am very, very, very grateful for what, to me, is dead easy.
