All the farmers brought their best this and their best that. They elected a beauty queen, and she reigned over the whole thing. They had a pretty baby contest, and that brought out a whole lot of people.

The most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched, they must be felt with the heart

When I first met Mick he wore jeans and those Seventies ribbed, tight T-shirts, and I absolutely loved that look. Nobody looks better in jeans than Mick because he's got this amazing body with a very slim, long waist and a bit V-shaped chest and I thought that was just the cutest. That's when I fell in love with him. Then in the Eighties he started wearing trousers and badly cut tweed suits, big shirts in orange and brown. Ugh! Clothes that he wore for about 20 years. But now he's started wearing jeans again and he looks great – I saw him the other day and I thought, 'thank God'.

It is better to be happy for a moment and be burned up with beauty than to live a long time and be bored all the while.

What does this beauty or than music mean to you? You cannot see the waves rolling up the beach or hear their roar. What do they mean to you?' In the most evident sense they mean everything. I cannot fathom or define their meaning any more than I can fathom or define love or religion or goodness.

There is a kind of beauty in imperfection.
