I have been lucky enough to travel a lot, meet great people in many lands. I have liked almost everyone I met along the way.

My brother married young, and his is the best marriage I know.

I have an irregular heartbeat, so that means a fair amount of medication - and I have blood pressure pills, too, but no vitamins or supplements.

I've been very lucky and I have a happy old age with good family and friends still around.

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

I look placid, you see, that's why people think I'm fine. Inside I worry a lot.

Women who start out as ugly ducklings don't become beautiful swans. What they mainly become is confident ducks. They take charge of their lives.
