The public has become my fairy godmother.
You've got to make haste while it's still light of day.
I am amazed at the response of my being on the show. Everywhere I go, every young person points at me and says "Hi, Aunt Dolly. " Or "Are you Aunt Dolly?" I love doing the show and I love Miley and Billy Ray [Cyrus]. I am proud to be her honorary Godmother.
The key to happiness - as any good fairy godmother will tell you - is not to avoid problems, but to overcome them.
Once upon a time there was a fairy godmother, but the rest of the time there was none. This story is about one of those other times.
The best thing about my faerie godmother is that the creepy just keeps on coming.
My deceased grandmother on my mom's side was a real fairy godmother, who lived to be 102 and who I always feel is looking after me.
The first time I was given money to shop for myself, I was 13 and staying with my godmother in New York. I went to Clinique and bought the three-step acne programme and felt so grown-up.

I've been a godmother loads of times, but being a grandmother is better than anything.

Maybe she was being so hoity-toity because she didn't have her own fairy godmother.
I lived with my godmother and mother in New Zealand until I was seven. They were both Jungian psychologists and had a homeless shelter for street gang members in New Zealand.
