Throughout my life, the message and teachings of Christ have been my guide and in them I find hope. It is my heartfelt prayer that you will continue to be sustained by your faith in times of trial and encouraged by hope in times of despair.
If you don’t find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die.
My biggest beauty secret is to be happy with myself. I don’t use special creams or treatments – I use a little bit of everything. It’s a mistake to think you are what you put on yourself. I think a lot of how you look has to do with how you feel about yourself and your life. Happiness is the secret of beauty.
Instead of buying your children all the things you never had, you should teach them all the things you were never taught. Material wears out but knowledge stays.
You have to take the wrinkles that come. And all those who get their skin sprayed and look like wounded warriors for a long time, become very little prettier, but look so sour. The smile is actually the best face-lift, I think.
There are no limits to what you can accomplish, except the limits you place on your own thinking.

Stupidity is the same.

The first time that I appeared on stage, it scared me to death. I really didn’t know what all the yelling was about. I didn’t realize that my body was moving. It’s a natural thing to me. So to the manager backstage I said, ‘What’d I do? What’d I do?’ And he said “Whatever it is, go back and do it again.
I’ve never tried that before, so I can probably do it well!
At my age, you think about the afterlife. I’m mostly inclined to think there’s nothing there, but sometimes I can’t help but let my imagination run wild. My good friend Ulla Steen says she believes that all of us who like each other meet in the big angel bar where we are expected. I see myself arriving at the angel bar, and there’s my father, my husband and my son, and one of them says: “There’s Lise. Now we are four again for a l’hombre.
It’s worth remembering that it is often the small steps, not the giant leaps, that bring about the most lasting change.
Sometimes you need to let go of everything – cleanse yourself. If you’re unhappy with something… whatever it is that’s dragging you down, get rid of it. Because you’ll find that when you’re free, your true creativity, your true self, comes out.

Of course, I have nothing against the language changing, but there must be reasonableness in it, so that it does not become a mere gas can. On the other hand, new words are sometimes added that I wouldn’t do without – for example, “smug”. It’s my new favorite word. It’s a wonderfully oily word, a precise word that covers a certain type of person with a high degree of self-confidence in their own abilities.
You may have had fun at the time teasing, but in fact it wasn’t much fun to be teased. But I thank you, somewhere, for having done it, because it made me take up something that I love to this day – and that no one, then or now, can take me away from.
