Maeve Binchy Zitate

In my books, there is no 'ugly duckling turning into a beautiful swan' syndrome because if you look at the Hansel and Gretel syndrome, it was a mistake. It wasn't a duckling, it was a cygnet, and that's why it turned into a swan. The duckling should with any luck turn into a nice clucking duck and get on with its life. Cluck! Cluck! Cluck!

Deutsche Übersetzung

In meinen Büchern gibt es kein "hässliches Entlein", das sich in ein schönes Schwan-Syndrom verwandelt, denn wenn man sich das Hänsel- und Gretel-Syndrom anschaut, war es ein Fehler. Es war kein Entlein, es war ein Cygnet und deshalb wurde es zu einem Schwan. Das Entlein sollte sich mit etwas Glück in eine schöne, gluckernde Ente verwandeln und sein Leben weiterführen. Glucken! Glucken! Glucken!

I've been really lucky to get on shows that stay on. It's one thing to book a show, and it's like winning the lottery again to have it picked up, and then again to have the show stay on the air.

It's nice to get to know people who are the same age as you that do the same things because it's like a different level of understanding.

I never had the slightest desire to have cosmetic surgery - partly because I don't want to look like an alien and partly because it's nice to age in a way. Also, I think that if your soul is beautiful, then the rest of you stays beautiful.

Design and style should work toward making you look good and feel good without a lot of effort so you can get on with the things that matter.

Of course there are moments that you wonder how long you should be doing it because there are other aspects which are not nice, of this lifestyle. But I just love winning.
