“I always felt very secure and very safe with real estate. Real estate always appreciates.”

I want great food and wine, and friends to enjoy it all.

If people see your weaknesses they will take advantage of them.

For many years I enjoyed the pleasure of cruising on my yacht all summer long and these were my best holidays. In mid-May, we’d start in St Tropez. I’d collect my bikinis from my home there and then we’d go up to Cannes for the Film Festival, on to Monte Carlo for the Grand Prix and then to Italy.

There’s nothing my housekeeper does that I can’t do – and maybe better!

I feel young at heart, and I feel, like, you know, 40.

Ladies, you have to be strong and independent, and remember, don’t get mad, get everything.

Family is the root of all that is good in our lives, and I am so grateful for mine.

You have to have the common sense.

I like to live. I like to dance. I like to eat. I like to work and I like my family. I like to enjoy. And knock on wood it’s nice that I can live this way.

Believe in yourself in all you can do and for you, the deals will start to work in your favor. You need to be open to such deals, and they will come, I assure you.

Life is meant for living.. I know that sounds simplistic, but how many days do you let slip by without really doing something, accomplishing something, making a life change, a lifestyle change?

We think about all of our tomorrows, but we don’t know how many there are, so let’s start making the most of our Todays!

Don’t get mad. Get everything. – (on divorce).

I would rather be a babysitter than a nursemaid.

For example, if I make money, I put it in real estate. I always did very well. Location, location, location.

In Positano, I like the San Pietro Hotel, which is run by a friend whose family has owned the hotel for more than 100 years.

The more you look at the same exact thing, the more the meaning goes away, and the better and emptier you feel.

Why can’t we have those curves and arches that express feeling in design? What is wrong with them? Why has everything got to be vertical, straight, unbending, only at right angles – and functional?

I’m smiling on the inside. I feel I have a responsibility to the fashion community.

My general thing is, if you feel cute in your outfit, then your outfit is cute.

Feeling sorry for yourself, and your present condition, is not only a waste of energy but the worst habit you could possibly have.

I don’t feel the slightest interest in the next world; I think it’s here. And I think anything good that you’re going to do, you should do for other people here and not so you can try to have a happy time in the next world.

I’m not one of these people that needs to feel loved. I don’t need to see my picture everywhere.

I never felt like I had a mother.
