“Love does not terrify me. But the going away of it does.”

Let’s face it, a nice creamy chocolate cake does a lot for a lot of people; it does for me.

We all want to be loved, don’t we? Everyone looks for a way of finding love. It’s a constant search for affection in every walk of life.

To be happy – that’s all that matters.

Who thinks you’re as fantastic as your dog does?

Anyone who does not believe in miracles is not a realist.

My greatest victory has been to be able to live with myself, to accept my shortcomings. I’m a long way from the human being I’d liked to be, but I’ve decided I’m not so bad after all.

Life is a party. Dress for it.

If I blow my nose, it gets written all over the world.

There is a science of war, but how strange that there isn’t a science of peace. There are colleges of war; why can’t we study peace?

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries or the way she combs her hair.

Whatever you love most, you fear you might lose, you know it can change. Why do you look from left to right when you cross the street? Because you don’t want to get run over. But, you still cross the street.

Make-up can only make you look pretty on the outside but it doesn’t help if your ugly on the inside. Unless you eat the make-up.

Is there anything more important than a child?

I believe in manicures. I believe in overdressing. I believe in primping at leisure and wearing lipsitck.

And I think that’s what life is all about, actually, about children and flowers.

I don’t need a bedroom to prove my womanliness. I can convey just as much sex appeal picking apples off a tree or standing in the rain.

It’s better to burn out than to fade away.

Your smile stuck in my soul but your touch has faded away.

Why do the people who complete our emptiness live far away?  

Heaven is a place not too far away.

I’m not going to make movies that tell children, “You should despair and run away”.

Our lives are like the wind or like sounds. We come into being, resonate with each other. Then fade away.

Freedom is never more than a generation away from extinction.

I leave you my portrait so that you will have my presence all the days and nights that I am away from you.
