Mothers And Daughters

«Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around.»

«(when talking to a fans mother who was complaining that her daughter would no longer go in the shower after watching 'Phsyco')'Then madam I suggest you dry-clean her'»
«A fluent tongue is the only thing a mother don't like her daughter to resemble her in»

«Like mother, like daughter.»
