“There must be quite a few things a hot bath won’t cure, but I don’t know many of them. Whenever I’m sad I’m going to die, or so nervous I can’t sleep, or in love with somebody I won’t be seeing for a week, I slump down just so far and then I say: ‘I’ll go take a hot bath.”

“Science has proven that happiness is a choice. It depends on what we choose to focus on. Choose happiness. Choose to focus on all the good things that surround you. Smile a lot. Be thankful for what you have in your life. Meditate for five minutes a day. Exercise for 30 minutes three times a week. These are the scientifically proven exercises that will make you happier if you do them over a period of time.”
