If one is not happy with oneself, then why should others be?
You start by saving up 100 million kroner and take it from there.
It is not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves.
I will never give in to old age until I get old. And I’m not old yet!
I have a small walk-in closet, and it can easily turn into a recycling museum, so I’ve also learned to sort out. When you are as old as I am, it is very important not to get sloppy and wear boring clothes.
If you don’t find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die.
I’m as happy as I can get – meeen I’ve been happier.
I have an agreement with Lilholt and Olsen that we always play a Dalton song when we’re out on a solo tour, as it costs 280 kroner in Koda tax. It’s not much, but for them it’s a lot.
When you get as old as I am and no longer have a husband or dog, and the children have long since left home, you can sit and get a little wiser by thinking. Then it’s time to edit your memories and start looking at your life again. First come the regrets, then come the wrongs you’ve done, mistakes you’ve made – and all the things you can sit and brood over if you’re already in a bad mood. But you can also understand people and contexts in a new way.

It is only when a mosquito lands on your testicles that you realize that there is always a way to solve problems without using violence.
I don’t think you should think too much about the fact that time is passing and you’re not a teenager anymore. Then you just get plagued and get even more wrinkles and look even more grumpy and sad.
My husband has quite simply been my strength and stay all these years, and I owe him a debt greater than he would ever claim.
I wish I was a cow eating grass in a field. No rent. No job. No college. Just moo.
An amazing breathlessness arises because we fill our lives with emptiness and Facebook. In a discussion about the empty calories of Facebook, someone close to me said with great seriousness: “I have 190 friends on Facebook.” Then I replied: “Yes, but hardly one of them will pick up your coffin the day you leave here.” Why not use the time for some fewer and real friends in the real world.
You have to take the wrinkles that come. And all those who get their skin sprayed and look like wounded warriors for a long time, become very little prettier, but look so sour. The smile is actually the best face-lift, I think.
Der er kun én succes – at kunne tilbringe dit liv på din egen måde.
Bitter? No, it’s something we drink.
Each day is a new beginning, I know that the only way to live my life is to try to do what is right, to take the long view, to give of my best in all that the day brings, and to put my trust in God.
