We are all creative, but by the time we are three of four years old, someone has knocked the creativity out of us. Some people shut up the kids who start to tell stories. Kids dance in their cribs, but someone will insist they sit still. By the time the creative people are ten or twelve, they want to be like everyone else.

It's true. I can do anything and do it well because God loves me. It still humbles me.

In all the world, there is no heart for me like yours. In all the world, there is no love for you like mine.

We need to not be in denial about what we've done, what we've come through. It will help us if we all do that.

Time itself is an individual gift. It is wise to cherish it carefully and give it away generously.

When I passed forty I dropped pretense, 'cause men like women who got some sense.
