And the beauty of a woman, with passing years only grows!
People associate me with a time when movies were pleasant, when women wore pretty dresses in films and you heard beautiful music. I always love it when people write me and and say 'I was having a rotten time, and I walked into a cinema and saw one of your movies, and it made such a difference.'
I believe, every day, you should have at least one exquisite moment.
This is what you do on your very first day in Paris. You get yourself, not a drizzle, but some honest-to-goodness rain, and you find yourself someone really nice and drive her through the Bois de Boulogne in a taxi. The rain's very important. That's when Paris smells its sweetest. It's the damp chestnut trees.
I don’t take my life seriously, but I do take what I do – in my life – seriously -
My look is attainable. Women can look like Audrey Hepburn by flipping out their hair, buying the large sunglasses, and the little sleeveless dresses.
As the years go on, you see changes in yourself, but you've got to face that - everyone goes through it... Either you have to face up to it and tell yourself you're not going to be eighteen all your life, or be prepared for a terrible shock when you see the wrinkles and white hair. Getting older doesn't frighten me, but I wish I didn't have to because I like life a lot.
If I get married, I want to be very married.
Fewer things are lovelier to me than a full-blown rose when it opens up its heart.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries or the way she combs her hair.
Some people dream of having a big swimming pool. With me, it’s closets
Good things aren't supposed to just fall into your lap. God is very generous, but He expects you to do your part first.
My goal was not to have huge luxuries. As a child, I wanted a house with a garden, which I have today. This is what I dreamed of. I’d never worry about age if I knew I could go on being loved and having the possibility to love... So it isn’t age or even death that one fears, as much as loneliness and the lack of affection.
No matter where you run, you just end up running into yourself
