“I hope for better things, and I thank God the world is also full of people who want to be genuine and kind.”

I have learnt how to live, how to be in the world and of the world, and not just to stand aside and watch.

The most important job in life is being a mom.

Only the absolutely determined people succeed.

Look, whenever I hear or read I’m beautiful, I simply don’t understand it. I’m certainly not beautiful in any conventional way. I didn’t make my career on beauty.

I’m an introvert. I love being by myself, love being outdoors, love taking a long walk with my dogs and looking at the trees, flowers, the sky.

I never expected to be a star, never counted on it, never even wanted it. Not that I didn’t enjoy it all when it happened.

The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.

And the beauty of a woman, with passing years only grows!

I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles.

I heard a definition once: Happiness is health and a short memory! I wish I’d invented it, because it is very true.

It is too much to hope that I shall keep up my success. I don’t ask for that. All I shall do is my best- and hope.

To pull off any look, wear it with confidence.

The more there is, the less I want. The more man flies to the moon, the more I want to look at a tree.

I tried always to do better: saw always a little further. I tried to stretch myself.

Living is like tearing through a museum.

Your heart just breaks, that’s all. But you can’t judge or point fingers. You just have to be lucky enough to find someone who appreciates you.
