“Is there anything more important than a child?”

As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.

Take care of the small circle around you. When you have succeeded with them, then move outwards, one small step at a time.

As much as I loved the art and discipline of the dance, it didn’t love me!

Fewer things are lovelier to me than a full-blown rose when it opens up its heart.

Paris is always a good idea.

Always be a first-rate version of yourself.

I’ve been lucky. Opportunities don’t often come along. So, when they do, you have to grab them.

To have beautiful lips, say beautiful things. To have beautiful eyes, look at people and see the good in them.

You can always tell what kind of a person a man really thinks you are by the earrings he gives you.

There is a shade of red for every woman.

Some people dream of having a big swimming pool. With me, it’s closets.

True friends are families which you can select.

I’d never worry about age if I knew I could go on being loved and have the possibility to love.

I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong.

Work as hard as you can, whatever you do, and try to spread generosity of spirit.

If I’m honest I have to tell you I still read fairy-tales and I like them best of all.

I feel terrible for a Palestinian child who dies. But, if it’s your father, your brother or your uncle who was firing those rockets into Israel, whose fault is it really? Do you really expect the Israelis not to retaliate?

A man never knows exactly how the child of his brain will strike other people.

I applaud anything that can take a kid away from a PlayStation or a Gameboy. That is a miracle in itself.

I try to sign for as many kids as possible. Kids come first, and I’ll always sign for a kid before an adult.

Chloroform unfit children. Show them the same mercy that is shown beasts that are no longer fit to live.

I kid around a lot, but pranks are not my best strength!

Just think of the tragedy of teaching children not to doubt.

Jill, we became parents so we could tell our kids what to do. Otherwise we’re just the tallest people living here.
