I want the public to know that it will be an honor for me to meet them and spend a few special moments with all those who helped me through my filmed career.

They gave me away as a prize once - a Win Tony Curtis For A Weekend competition. The woman who won was disappointed. She'd hoped for second prize - a new stove.

At 17, I dreamed of seeing the world. At 19, I had been around the world and back.

The service meant so much to me. You don't know privileged I feel and how lucky I am to have served.

There is that awful moment when you realize that you're falling in love. That should be the most joyful moment, and actually it's not. It's always a moment that's full of fear because you know, as night follows day, the joy is going to rapidly be followed by some pain or other. All the angst of a relationship.

Love is a force more formidable than any other. It is invisible - it cannot be seen or measured, yet it is powerful enough to transform you in a moment, and offer you more joy than any material possession could.

If you wait for the perfect moment when all is safe and assured, it may never arrive. Mountains will not be climbed, races won, or lasting happiness achieved.

Happiness is brief. It will not stay. God batters at its sails.
