Let's face it, a nice creamy chocolate cake does a lot for a lot of people; it does for me.
And I always heard people in New York never get to know their neighbors.
The more there is, the less I want. The more man flies to the moon, the more I want to look at a tree.
Thursday? Oh no, it can't be! It's too gruesome.
A child is a child in any country, whatever the politics. Let's get down to basics. That's what a child forces you to do. Nothing else much matters, there is no complicated diplomacy, when a child is starving. It's simple. And we'd better do something about it. For our sakes, too. That is, if we want to continue to call ourselves human.
As a child, I was taught that it was bad manners to bring attention to yourself, and to never, ever make a spectacle of yourself...all of which I've earned a living doing.
People in these places don't know Audrey Hepburn, but they recognise the name UNICEF. When they see UNICEF their faces light up, because they know that something is happening. In the Sudan, for example, they call a water pump UNICEF.
To be happy - that's all that matters.
I have a long-lasting gratitude and trust for what UNICEF does.
Have we forgotten about the children, and thus forsaken the next generation?
If you lead a simple life, and that story is written, then that story will not satisfy. It needs an angle. Suppose there is no angle?
I've always had- how shall I say it? -the prize at the end. My whole life shows that.
How shall I sum up my life? I think I’ve been particularly lucky.
Whatever a man might do, whatever misery or heartache your children might give you - and they give you a lot - however much your parents irritate you - it doesn't matter because you love them.
