Realise when you are 'middle aged' you have a chance for a whole second career, another love, another life.

You think, I love more everyday. I love more everyday, more everyday, I couldn't possibly love any more, I'm going to blow up. And then you blow up. Your chest actually starts to hurt. You love so much you think I can't love any more. And then you love so much more than you ever dreamed possible.

I'm not trying to make myself look like a girl because I'm not a girl anymore. I'm very happy about being a grown woman.

Always carry a book on a date so that when you get bored you can slip into the Ladies for a read.

I don't thrive on the concept of being naked at every possible moment, but it's not the biggest deal in the world to me.

If I was just normally intelligent, I could probably get away with it - but I'm fiercely intelligent and that's threatening.

Real happiness comes from inside. Nobody can give it to you.
