My happiest memory of childhood was my first birthday in reform school. This teacher took an interest in me. In fact he gave me the first birthday presents I ever got: a box of Cracker Jacks and a can of ABC shoe polish.

Mum loves me being famous! She is so excited and proud as she had me so young and couldn't support me so I am living her dream it's sweeter for both of us. It's her 40th birthday soon and I'm going to buy her 40 presents.

I wrapped my Christmas presents early this year but I used the wrong paper. See the paper I used said 'Happy Birthday' on it. I didn't want to waste it so I just wrote 'Jesus' on it.

In 1993 my birthday present was a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame.

My biggest hero Gregory Peck was my birthday present on April 14 1973. I just sat and stared at him.

I often buy myself presents. Sometimes I will spend $100 000 in one day in a posh boutique.

Your children need your presence more than your presents.

Handmade presents are scary because they reveal that you have too much free time.

I'm not materialistic. I believe in presents from the heart like a drawing that a child does.

A gift with a kind countenance is a double present.
