I smoke wherever there's an ashtray.

I have always had a dread of becoming a passenger in life.

Under the constitution, as the Danish queen I am bound to the Lutheran faith, but that does not exclude people of other faiths.

I would not say Denmark is a multicultural country, but more people live here now who have different roots, backgrounds and religions, more than 30 years ago. This also applies to religions.

And when we are tolerant, we must know whether it is because of convenience or conviction.

I will remain on the throne until I fall off.

There are indeed ways for a queen to say what she thinks.
