I realize that most of us live on the skin - on the surface - without appreciating just how wonderful it is simply to be alive at all.
All I want is a room somewhere, far away from the cold night air. With one enormous chair; Oh wouldn't it be loverly? Lots of choc'late for me to eat; Lots of coal makin' lots of heat. Warm face, warm 'ands, warm feet, Oh wouldn't it be loverly? Oh, so loverly sittin' abso-bloomin'-lutely still! I would never budge 'til Spring crept over my window sill. Someone's head restin' on my knee; Warm and tender as he can be, Who takes good care of me; Oh wouldn't it be loverly? Loverly, loverly, loverly, loverly.
The most important job in life is being a mom.
Only the absolutely determined people succeed.
The most important thing is growing old gracefully.
I probably hold the distinction of being one movie star who, by all laws of logic, should never have made it. At each stage of my career, I lacked the experience.
Look, whenever I hear or read I’m beautiful, I simply don’t understand it … I’m certainly not beautiful in any conventional way. I didn't make my career on beauty.
I don't need a bedroom to prove my womanliness. I can convey just as much sex appeal picking apples off a tree or standing in the rain.
There are certain shades of limelight that can wreck a girl's complexion.
I have learnt how to live…how to be in the world and of the world, and not just to stand aside and watch.
True friends are families which you can select.
Each, in its own way, was unforgettable. It would be difficult to — Rome! By all means, Rome. I will cherish my visit here in memory as long as I live.
Pick the day. Enjoy it– to the hilt.
My greatest ambition is to have a career without becoming a career woman.
