I clearly remember the first time I had sex. I still have the receipt at home.
If you ever find yourself cringing at something you did in the past, it means you have grown as a person.
In the past, we learned to cope with challenges ourselves. Today, a lot of people younger than me are not resistant to the vicissitudes and emotional challenges of life. If you’ve been told all your life that it’s the others who should spoil you and keep you free of problems, you’re probably a very sober person emotionally.
It is not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves.
The hardest thing about doing good business is avoiding doing the bad ones.
The pill is one of the biggest advances I’ve seen.
When I give food to the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why the poor have no food, they call me a communist.
I’ve never worried about my color. I never had the black thing. If the whole world was like this, maybe there would be more harmony and love. Maybe it is. I don’t have a problem with being black in a white country or being with my people.
Why fall in love, when you can fall asleep
Life is like a game of chess. I don’t know how to play chess.
People think my life has been hard, but I think it’s been a wonderful journey. The older you get, the more you realize that it’s not about what happens, but how you deal with it.
In the band, we only drink three drinks a day: two golden beers and a bottle of port.
Never stop being a good person because of bad people.
The most memorable moments in life are the ones you never planned.
If you live for weekends or vacations, your shit is broken.
Wearing cheap clothes or driving an old car doesn’t make you broke. You got a family to feed not a community to impress.
My family is so poor that we combined my father’s funeral with my 50th birthday.
You start by saving up 100 million kroner and take it from there.
If we think that the way we live is good enough, then we’re completely wrong. You have to be able to doubt so that you can see that it can be done differently.
Bitter? No, it’s something we drink.
I believe that if you just get up and go, life will open up to you.
When you get as old as I am and no longer have a husband or dog, and the children have long since left home, you can sit and get a little wiser by thinking. Then it’s time to edit your memories and start looking at your life again. First come the regrets, then come the wrongs you’ve done, mistakes you’ve made – and all the things you can sit and brood over if you’re already in a bad mood. But you can also understand people and contexts in a new way.
And what happens when you go away? When life’s shirt gets too short? Where is the common thread? You have to become something!
I don’t think you should think too much about the fact that time is passing and you’re not a teenager anymore. Then you just get plagued and get even more wrinkles and look even more grumpy and sad.
