I've Had A Good Life,

You Say To Yourself: 'what Could People, In All These Countries, Find In My Books?' And Yet I Think We're All The Same, Anywhere. Everybody Is A Hero Or A Dramatic Person In Their Own Story If You Just Know Where To Look.

Happiness Is In Our Own Hearts. I Have No Regrets Of Anything In The Past. I'm Totally Cheerful And Happy, And I Think That A Lot Of Your Attitude Is Not In The Circumstances You Find Yourself In, But In The Circumstances You Make For Yourself.

Of Course, I Should Have Done What Doctors Said And Walked For Miles Every Day And Not Eaten Great Amounts Of Butter. But Then, Life Is Life, And If We All Did What They Said We Should Do, It Would Be A Different World.

After My Hip Operation, I Had To Cut Out Butter, Which I Loved, And Salt. I No Longer Eat Desserts With Lots Of Cream, And I've Cut Right Back On Alcohol.

You're Much More Believable If You Talk In Your Own Voice.
