It’s – sorry my French – some damn nonsense. There are certainly also pig farmers and cattle farmers who go in clean boots and clothes. You will probably find most of them, so that is why it is nonsense.
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.
If you don’t find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die.
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.
If you live for weekends or vacations, your shit is broken.

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.
We are not all in the same boat. We are all in the same storm.
I like Danish humour – I just wish you had more of it.

There’s one thing worse than being boring. It is to be immoral
If it’s dancing, or anything else in life my darling, that matters to you, then don’t let anything or anyone stop you.

When you tear out a man’s tongue, you are not proving, him a liar: you’re only telling the world that you fear what he might say.
I only earn 11 kroner per trip I sell, but it also becomes a part when I sell a million trips a year.
That’s one of the worst things about getting old. That people allow themselves to die before you.
Sometimes, the wrong train takes you to the right station.
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.
They say it’s the white man I should fear, but it’s my own kind doing all the killing here.
It is not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves.
