I find great happiness in my relationships with old friends, living mirrors that reflect histories of laughter and sorrow, triumphs and failures, births and deaths, on both sides.

When a woman becomes her own best friend life is easier.

Harbour Island in the Bahamas is beautiful, with turquoise water and pink sand.

Bali and the Aman resorts are all very luxurious, great places to go.

Ireland is also quite nice. So is Amsterdam.

The most important relationship in your life is the relationship you have with yourself. Because no matter what happens, you will always be with yourself.

Do I have a large frog in my hair? I have the sensation that something is eating my brain.

I'm not a person that's easily embarrassed, but I'm embarrassed for other people.

The law detects, grace alone conquers sin.
