“Once a woman has forgiven her man, she must not reheat his sins for breakfast.”

A man would prefer to come home to an unmade bed and a happy woman than to a neatly made bed and an angry woman.

I dress for the image. Not for myself, not for the public, not for fashion, not for men.

You need a man you can look up to and respect. If you dethrone him it’s no wonder that you are discontented, and discontented women are not loved for long.

Most women set out to try to change a man, and when they have changed him they do not like him.

I never enjoyed working in a film.

To be completely woman you need a master, and in him a compass for your life.

It’s the friends you can call up at 4 a.m. that matter.

The Germans and I no longer speak the same language.

I am not a myth.

A king, realizing his incompetence, can either delegate or abdicate his duties.

How do you know love is gone? If you said that you would be there at seven and you get there by nine, and he or she has not called the police yet – it’s gone.

The tears I have cried over Germany have dried. I have washed my face.

Think twice before burdening a friend with a secret.

I still think the best classic meal in New York is a coffee-shop breakfast – you sort of can’t skip it.

The first duty of a revolutionary is to get away with it. The second duty is to eat breakfast. I ain’t going.

Breakfast is everything. The beginning, the first thing. It is the mouthful that is the commitment to a new day, a continuing life.

Don’t ask what things I’ll have for breakfast come over to me, Let me have you this morning.

Sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.

The rule is, jam tomorrow and jam yesterday – but never jam today.
