"You can't be unhappy when you are holding a cup of tea."

"I am not good at noticing when I'm happy, except in retrospect."

"The most important thing is growing old gracefully."

"I have to be alone very often. I'd be quite happy if I spent from Saturday night until Monday morning alone in my apartment. That's how I refuel."

"Never regret anything that makes you smile."

"You can only hope to get a combination of happy work and a happy life."
