Grief is the price we pay for love.
If someone offers you an amazing opportunity and you’re not sure you can do it, say yes – then learn how to do it later.
Now the gossip must stop. Now I’m tired of getting sucked into your columns. Then you must sue me if you dare.
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.
It is better to have clean nails than soil between the ears.
If you don’t find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die.
I’ve never gotten over what they call stagefright. I go through it every show. I’m pretty concerned, I’m pretty much thinking about the show. I never get completely comfortable with it, and I don’t let the people around me get comfortable with it, in that I remind them that it’s a new crowd out there, it’s a new audience, and they haven’t seen us before. So it’s got to be like the first time we go on.
I like Danish humour – I just wish you had more of it.
When I was a child, ladies and gentlemen, I was a dreamer. I read comic books and I was the hero of the comic book. I saw movies and I was the hero in the movie. So every dream I ever dreamed has come true a hundred times…I learned very early in life that: ‘Without a song, the day would never end; without a song, a man ain’t got a friend; without a song, the road would never bend – without a song.’ So I keep singing a song. Goodnight. Thank you.

I’d say it’s been my biggest problem all my life.. it’s money. It takes a lot of money to make these dreams come true.
If you live for weekends or vacations, your shit is broken.
If you only want to see dog shit, then there is dog shit.
Suicide is never the answer. You must outlive your enemies.
The women’s struggle today is an individual struggle (…) You can’t demand equal pay if you also want to have a long maternity leave, stay at home when they are sick and be there primarily for the children.
Nogle gange ønsker folk ikke at høre sandheden, fordi de ikke vil have deres illusioner ødelagt.
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.
Those who have never made a mistake have never tried anything new.
I’ve never tried that before, so I can probably do it well!
I’m not wise, but the beginnings of wisdom are there; it’s like relaxing into – and accepting – things.
