You mustnt give your heart to a wild thing. The more you do, the stronger they get.
Whatever a man might do, whatever misery or heartache your children might give you - and they give you a lot - however much your parents irritate you - it doesn't matter because you love them.
It always boils down to the same thing - not only receiving love, but desperately needing to give it.
You can always tell what kind of a person a man really thinks you are by the earrings he gives you.
I was born with an enormous need for affection, and a terrible need to give it.
Since the world has existed, there has been injustice. But it is one world, the more so as it becomes smaller, more accessible. There is just no question that there is more obligation that those who have should give to those who have nothing.
I am proud to have been in a business that gives pleasure, creates beauty, and awakens our conscience, arouses compassion, and perhaps most importantly, gives millions a respite from our so violent world.
Giving is living. If you stop wanting to give, there's nothing more to live for.

Let me tell you something, Mister. If I had her money, I'd be richer than she is.' - Breakfast at Tiffany's
My first big mission for UNICEF in Ethiopia was just to attract attention, before it was too late, to conditions which threatened the whole country. My role was to inform the world, to make sure that the people of Ethiopia were not forgotten.
I can testify to what UNICEF means to children because I was among those who received food and medical relief right after World War II.
I had to make a choice at one point in my life, of missing films or missing my children. It was a very easy decision to make because I missed my children so very much.
I believe in manicures. I believe in overdressing. I believe in primping at leisure and wearing lipstick. I believe in pink. I believe happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day, and... I believe in miracles.
