Being beautiful can never hurt, but you have to have more. You have to sparkle, you have to be fun, you have to make your brain work if you have one.
Isn't it wonderful to be alive? You know, you can forget all about it. Then suddenly you remember, and think of all the things you can do. Here I am. I can walk around. I can talk. I can see things and remember things. I am alive. How wonderful!
I've never tried to block out the memories of the past, even though some are painful. I don't understand people who hide from their past. Everything you live through helps to make you the person you are now.
After all these years, I am still involved in the process of self-discovery. It's better to explore life and make mistakes than to play it safe. Mistakes are part of the dues one pays for a full life.
I am lucky. I had a very beautiful mother.
Everything you see I owe to spaghetti.
There is a fountain of youth: it is your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring to your life and the lives of people you love. When you learn to tap this source, you will truly have defeated age.
Sex is like washing your face - just something you do because you have to. Sex without love is absolutely ridiculous. Sex follows love, it never precedes it.
The fantasy of a man is the best weapon of a woman.
I have never judged myself by other people’s standards. I have always expected a great deal of myself, and if I fail, I fail myself.
Any woman can look her best if she feels good in her skin. It's not a question of clothes or makeup. It's how she sparkles.
The two big advantages I had at birth were to have been born wise and to have been born in poverty.
A woman's dress should be like a barbed-wire fence: serving its purpose without obstructing the view.
The first woman was created from the rib of a man. She was not made from his head to top him, nor from his feet to be trampled on by him, but out of his side to be equal to him.
