When we recall the past, we usually find that it is the simplest things - not the great occasions - that in retrospect give off the greatest glow of happiness.

Things that made me happy five, six years ago don't make me happy anymore.

I look back with a mix of emotions: sadness for the people who are gone, nostalgia for times that have passed, but immense gratitude for the wonderful opportunities that came my way.

It's great to reminisce about good memories of my past. It was enjoyable when it was today. So learning to enjoy today has two benefits: it gives me happiness right now, and it becomes a good memory later.

I think you never forget your childhood, whether it was happy or unhappy.

Growing up, I had a very happy childhood, with two parents who are still very much together.

I have a lot of great memories, but I can't imagine anything more exciting than the life I have now.

I've been very fortunate in the things I've had in my life. But, at the same time, I wish I had the same types of memories as everyone else.

The older I get, the happier my childhood becomes.

While I didn't have everything that I wanted, I was still a happy kid.
