“There can be no good fable with human beings in it. There can be no good fairy tale without them.”

Our mere anticipations of life outrun its realities.

Better be wise by the misfortunes of others than by your own.

Servants don’t know a good master till they have served a worse.

Labour is the source of every blessing.

Beware lest you lose the substance by grasping at the shadow.

Notoriety is often mistaken for fame.

Little friends may prove great friends.

Those who suffer most cry out the least.

Adversity tests the sincerity of friends.

The idea of my life as a fairy tale is itself a fairy tale.

I’d imagine my wedding as a fairy tale… huge, beautiful and white.

I was born an only child in Vienna, Austria. My father found hours to sit by me by the library fire and tell fairy stories.

My soul has painted like the wings of butterflies, Fairy tales of yesterday will grow but never die, I can fly, my friends

Divorce was emotionally traumatic for me. It was the death of a dream. I was in fairytale land, and the reality of it wasn’t so. But I don’t really like talking about it anymore, because it feels like a thousand lifetimes ago, and also it makes me look desperate like I need it for attention.

I don’t need the Prince Charming to have my own happy ending.

If I wasn’t a singer, I would be a fairy princess.
