“What must it be like for a little boy to read that daddy never loved mummy?”

As for becoming queen, it was never on the forefront of my mind when I married my husband. It was a long way off, that thought.

Helping people in need is a good and essential part of my life, a kind of destiny.

Death doesn’t frighten me.

I want my boys to have an understanding of people’s emotions, their insecurities, people’s distress, and their hopes and dreams.

The greatest problem in the world today is intolerance. Everyone is so intolerant of each other.

You can’t comfort the afflicted with afflicting the comfortable.

Yes, I do touch. I believe that everyone needs that.

The biggest disease this day and age is that of people feeling unloved.

Everybody needs hugs.

All people want to be touched.

I’ve got to have a place where I can find peace of mind.

I’m much closer to the people at the bottom than the people at the top, and the latter won’t forgive me for it.

Being constantly in the public eye gives me a special responsibility, particularly that of using the impact of photographs to transmit a message, to sensitize the word to an important cause, to defend certain values.

It’s not sissy to show your feeling.

I thought I was the luckiest girl in the world. I had tremendous hope in me.

The people that I care about are the people out there on the street. I can identify with them.

If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales.

Most people don’t grow up. Most people age. They find parking spaces, honor their credit cards, get married, have children, and call that maturity. What that is, is aging.

To myself I am only a child playing on the beach, while vast oceans of truth lie undiscovered before me.

For these are all our children, we will all profit by or pay for what they become.

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

I cannot for the life of me understand why small children take so long to grow up. I think they do it deliberately, just to annoy me.

There is truth in wine and children.

If your kid needs a role model and you ain’t it, you’re both fucked.
