It is not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves.
Life is not about waiting for the storm to subside. It’s about learning to dance in the rain.
…the image is one thing and the human being is another…it’s very hard to live up to an image.
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.
Bad publicity is better than no publicity at all
Compare yourself to who you were yesterday, not to who someone else is today.
Don’t criticize what you don’t understand, son. You never walked in that man’s shoes.
We are not all in the same boat. We are all in the same storm.
If you have to improvise, you have to be well prepared.
If it’s dancing, or anything else in life my darling, that matters to you, then don’t let anything or anyone stop you.
I’ve never given myself a lot of credit because of my relationship with Ike. I was just happy when I started to like myself – when I got divorced and took control of my life.

I only earn 11 kroner per trip I sell, but it also becomes a part when I sell a million trips a year.
That’s one of the worst things about getting old. That people allow themselves to die before you.
Do you ever miss yourself? The person you were before you had your first heartbreak or before you got betrayed by a person you trusted? I do.
The early bird catches the worm. The early worm gets eaten.
It has always been easy to hate and destroy. To build and to cherish is much more difficult.
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.
Don’t prepare the path for the child, prepare the child for the path.
