I am self-created. I always wanted to make myself a better person because I wasn’t educated. But that was my dream – to have class.
My legacy is that I stayed the course… from start to finish because I believed in something inside of me.
At my age, you think about the afterlife. I’m mostly inclined to think there’s nothing there, but sometimes I can’t help but let my imagination run wild. My good friend Ulla Steen says she believes that all of us who like each other meet in the big angel bar where we are expected. I see myself arriving at the angel bar, and there’s my father, my husband and my son, and one of them says: “There’s Lise. Now we are four again for a l’hombre.
With great powers comes great responsibilities.
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.
Our modern world places such heavy demands on our time and attention that the need to remember our responsibilities to others is greater than ever.
Act enthusiastic and you will be enthusiastic.
All footballers are motivated by money – those who say otherwise are lying.
It has always been easy to hate and destroy. To build and to cherish is much more difficult.
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.
My biggest beauty secret is to be happy with myself. I don’t use special creams or treatments – I use a little bit of everything. It’s a mistake to think you are what you put on yourself. I think a lot of how you look has to do with how you feel about yourself and your life. Happiness is the secret of beauty.
Life is not about waiting for the storm to subside. It’s about learning to dance in the rain.
If it’s dancing, or anything else in life my darling, that matters to you, then don’t let anything or anyone stop you.
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.
The first time that I appeared on stage, it scared me to death. I really didn’t know what all the yelling was about. I didn’t realize that my body was moving. It’s a natural thing to me. So to the manager backstage I said, ‘What’d I do? What’d I do?’ And he said “Whatever it is, go back and do it again.
Instead of buying your children all the things you never had, you should teach them all the things you were never taught. Material wears out but knowledge stays.
In this house, I’m not famous. Because the dog doesn’t care. And my children hopefully appreciate me more for our regular interaction and conversations,
If the penalty for a crime is a fine, then that law only exists for the lower class.
If you can not join them, beat them.
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.
I’m attracted to myths.
When it’s hurting you that’s when you can make a difference.
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.
I was raised in a free and liberal home. I have never felt threatened by other cultures, other colors or other ways of thinking. In 30 years, there will be more and more colors in the minds of the people who walk around our streets. And we want to move around a lot more ourselves. It is also necessary that we open up if we are to remain strong at that time.
If everything seems under control, you’re just not going fast enough.
