“A boy sows a wild oat or two, the world winks. A girl does the same — scandal.”

All my life, I’ve stayed at parties too long because I didn’t know when to go.

If you always do what interests you, at least one person is pleased.

It is the plain women who know about love; the beautiful women are too busy being fascinating.

I realised long ago that skirts are hopeless. Anytime I hear a man say he prefers a woman in a skirt, I say, ‘Try one. Try a skirt.’

It’s either some kind of electricity or some kind of energy. I don’t know what it is, but whatever it is, I’ve got it.

Isn’t it fun getting older? is really a terrible fallacy. That’s like saying I prefer driving an old car with a flat tire.

I think most of the people involved in any art always secretly wonder whether they are really there because they’re good or there because they’re lucky.

I don’t regret anything I’ve ever done; as long as I enjoyed it at the time.

If you survive long enough, you’re revered – rather like an old building.

Plain women know more about men than beautiful women do.

I don’t think that work ever really destroyed anybody. I think that lack of work destroys them a hell of a lot more.

I’m a legend because I’ve survived over a long period of time and still seem to be master of my fate – I’m still paddling the goddamned boat myself.

If you’re given a choice between money and sex appeal, take the money. As you get older, the money will become your sex appeal.

I have many regrets, and I’m sure everyone does. The stupid things you do, you regret if you have any sense, and if you don’t regret them, maybe you’re stupid.

It’s how you live that really counts.

A sharp knife cuts the quickest and hurts the least.

I’m a romantic with a wild heart that loves deep like the poet in me.

It’s in the wilderness where the most rooted trees grow.

Her eyes showed him how old her wild soul is her bright smile showed how young her heart is.

In this wild world, flowers remind us we can blossom and still be soft.

Some days I am more wildfire than a woman.

Don’t tame my heart, it was meant to be wild.

In every woman, there is a bit of wild tattooed in her DNA.

There’s a soft-wild touch in love.
