I am against all war.

And as I walk round the park I always think, 'Maybe round the corner I am going to find something beautiful.' I always think positively. It is very rare that you find me in a mood that is sad or melancholic.

Getting ahead in a difficult profession requires avid faith in yourself.

The Fountain of Youth is in your mind.

I work when I feel like I can do something that pleases me, that I think I can give a little more than I've given up to yesterday.

When you are a mother, you are never really alone in your thoughts. A mother always has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child.

Is my mother my friend? I would have to say, first of all she is my Mother, with a capital 'M'; she's something sacred to me. I love her dearly...yes, she is also a good friend, someone I can talk openly with if I want to.
