“I feel very adventurous. There are so many doors to be opened, and I’m not afraid to look behind them.”

It is strange that the years teach us patience; that the shorter our time, the greater our capacity for waiting.

I think I ended up being the scarlet woman partly because of my rather puritannical upbringing and beliefs. I always chose to think I was in love and that love was synonymous with marriage.

I know I’m vulgar, but would you have me any other way?

I call upon you to draw from the depths of your being – to prove that we are a human race, to prove that our love outweighs our need to hate, that our compassion is more compelling than our need to blame.

I believe in mind over matter and doing anything you set your mind on.

My mother says I didn’t open my eyes for eight days after I was born, but when I did, the first thing I saw was an engagement ring. I was hooked.

Marriage is a great institution.

I will love Michael Jackson forever.

I never face the day without perfume.

Thanks Darling for the beautiful flowers and all the prayers. Now can you just get my puppy past security?

I would totally lose myself in the music and be a gypsy. I would go wherever I wanted to in my head – wherever the music took me. My body followed.

I don’t love acting; I love chocolate.

When people say, ‘She’s got everything’, I’ve got one answer – I haven’t had tomorrow.

I hate myself on the screen. I want to die. My voice is either too high or too gravelly. I want to dive under the carpet. I’d love to be tall and willowy. I’m short.

When you’re older, you’ll appreciate the advantages of sleeping alone.

So much is said with the electricity of the eyes, the intensity of a whisper. Less is more.

Travel is the excitement of life! Everything is an adventure, and if you look at it like that, even at the worst moment you can say: ‘We will laugh tomorrow about this.’ And you do.

The artist and the photographer seek the mysteries and the adventure of experience in nature.

We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures that we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.

I wish I was on a jet plane, with my passport in my pocket and adventure in my veins.

When at last I took the time to look into the heart of a flower, it opened up a whole new world; a world where every country walk would be an adventure, where every garden would become an enchanted one.

We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure.

I crave for adventure. It makes me feel alive and excited. It’s a constant tussle between what you want to do and other parameters that aren’t in your hands.

I wanted real adventures to happen to myself. But real adventures, I reflected, do not happen to people who remain at home: they must be sought abroad.
