When I die, I want to go to sleep peacefully like my grandfather. Not screaming in terror, like the passengers in his car.
I was mortified that she disappeared before me, sitting at her writing desk, surrounded by classical music. A cerut in hand and a glass of whisky within reach.
If you’re a giver, remember to learn your limits. Because the takers don’t have any.
Sometimes you need to let go of everything – cleanse yourself. If you’re unhappy with something… whatever it is that’s dragging you down, get rid of it. Because you’ll find that when you’re free, your true creativity, your true self, comes out.
If someone offers you an amazing opportunity and you’re not sure you can do it, say yes – then learn how to do it later.
Everything sounds deep when you don’t read books.
I’m not wise, but the beginnings of wisdom are there; it’s like relaxing into – and accepting – things.
I like Danish humour – I just wish you had more of it.
If they want to be with sour and awkward people during their vacation, well, then they should probably choose another travel agency.
If one is silent for too long, then the tongue withers
Now the gossip must stop. Now I’m tired of getting sucked into your columns. Then you must sue me if you dare.
When I was a child, ladies and gentlemen, I was a dreamer. I read comic books and I was the hero of the comic book. I saw movies and I was the hero in the movie. So every dream I ever dreamed has come true a hundred times…I learned very early in life that: ‘Without a song, the day would never end; without a song, a man ain’t got a friend; without a song, the road would never bend – without a song.’ So I keep singing a song. Goodnight. Thank you.
I had to go through so horribly much before I found out to skip where the fence is lowest.

When life seems hard, the courageous do not lie down and accept defeat; instead, they are all the more determined to struggle for a better future.
That’s one of the worst things about getting old. That people allow themselves to die before you.
I’ve never gotten over what they call stagefright. I go through it every show. I’m pretty concerned, I’m pretty much thinking about the show. I never get completely comfortable with it, and I don’t let the people around me get comfortable with it, in that I remind them that it’s a new crowd out there, it’s a new audience, and they haven’t seen us before. So it’s got to be like the first time we go on.
…the image is one thing and the human being is another…it’s very hard to live up to an image.
The women’s struggle today is an individual struggle (…) You can’t demand equal pay if you also want to have a long maternity leave, stay at home when they are sick and be there primarily for the children.
I don’t hate myself anymore. I used to hate my work, hate the sexy image, hate the pictures of me on stage, hate the big vulgar person. On stage, I act the whole time I’m there. As soon as I come out of those songs, I’m Tina again.
No matter how many grains of gold I serve you, you keep eating oatmeal, and I can’t become my problem.
My articles were based on something I wanted to change. Everyone has the right to a decent life, and I thought it was important to give vulnerable people support and confidence. I was brought up to respect other people.
I’ve never tried that before, so I can probably do it well!
Til we meet again, may God bless you. Adios.
I’d say it’s been my biggest problem all my life.. it’s money. It takes a lot of money to make these dreams come true.
