Lucy took care of me on the set and made sure that none of the crew cussed around me. She also had birthday parties for me and made sure that they were well attended.

There weren't any astronauts until I was about 10. Yuri Gagarin went into space right around my 10th birthday.

I've looked after my money. As I started working around my third birthday my first check went straight to the bank.

I started running around my 30th birthday. I wanted to lose weight I didn't anticipate the serenity. Being in motion suddenly my body was busy and so my head could work out some issues I had swept under a carpet of wine and cheese. Good therapy that's a good run.

Any time women come together with a collective intention it's a powerful thing. Whether it's sitting down making a quilt in a kitchen preparing a meal in a club reading the same book or around the table playing cards or planning a birthday party when women come together with a collective intention magic happens.

I'm trying to get the record that I made at my birthday party last year trying to get that out and the lawyers are diddling around with it and it probably won't be out until next year. I don't know.

With my daughter we do arts and crafts we read a lot we listen to music and we cut the strings off balloons and bounce them around after birthday parties.

I remember when the candle shop burned down. Everyone stood around singing 'Happy Birthday.'

Once you are labeled 'the best' you want to stay up there and you can't do it by loafing around.

Italians know about human nature - they understand human nature perhaps better than anyone else does. They know that people are weak and greedy and lazy and dishonest and they just try to make the best of it to work around it.
