Only fine cigars are worth smoking and only men who smoke fine cigars are worth kissing.
According to my sister Jackie, most men stray. And sex doesn't mean anything to most men. But I wouldn't date a man who slept around. Absolutely not, I've divorced people for that
I don't believe in vitamin pills. I swear by men, darling-and as many as possible.
In fact, the 20th century I think was the most fascinating century and the whole of man civilization because so much happened.
I have a lot of male friends that I go the cinema with and movie and shopping. A lot of men friends I know love shopping.
I was voted the most beautiful girl in the world in 1958, and courted by every young, available man in Los Angeles, most of whom I didn't go out with, by the way.
All of a sudden I found myself with the reputation of being a swinger and a home-wrecker. Beverly Hills wives were supposed to live in fear in case I cast my green orbs in the direction of their men. Ninety-nine per cent of this was total fabrication.
I've never yet met a man who could look after me. I don't need a husband. What I need is a wife.
I've fallen in love maybe five times in my life. But it's a long life. I do get crushes. Whether it's men or women or babies.

I find it so much easier because you're cut off. If you don't want to speak to anybody, basically they don't know where you are. And it's so beautiful.
I eat an avocado every day. It's amazing for your skin. It's one of the super-foods, and I'm just so into eating properly and healthily.
One of the main secrets to staying young is staying healthy. I've sometimes had to suppress a smile when some young lady, who has obviously not taken care of herself through diet or exercise, says admiringly, 'Ooh, I hope I look as good as you do when I'm your age!' Although it's intended to be complimentary, it's actually a back-hander.
Show me a person who has never made a mistake and I'll show you someone who has never achieved much
