“You know which title I like best? I like to be called mother.”

Carrying a baby is the most rewarding experience a female can enjoy. A father shares in that experience, knowing that he caused it to happen.

I guess a lot of people think that a girl who shows her bosom and wears tight dresses can’t be close to God. God has always been close to me. Only He knew what was in my heart.

Stars were made to suffer, and I am a star.

Carrying a baby is the most rewarding experience a woman can enjoy.

I hope that I have given happiness to others. I hope I have given children to the world, and that I have made some kind of a mark for myself here.

I like being a pin-up girl. There’s nothing wrong with it.

I don’t want to get involved in the racial situation at the expense of losing fans. I wouldn’t say anything too strong but I do know that God created us equal and we’re not living up to it.

I don’t know why you people [the press] like to compare me to Marilyn or that girl, what’s her name, Kim Novak. Cleavage, of course, helped me a lot to get where I am. I don’t know how they got there.

It is the most wonderful feeling in the world, knowing you are loved and wanted.

Most girls don’t know what to do with what they’ve got.

A woman should be pink and cuddly for a man.

War is a foolish, childish, animalistic, unthinking, unintelligent way of trying to accomplish a purpose.

If you want the best things in life you have to earn them for yourself.

Only mothers can think of the future – because they give birth to it in their children.

Very few people who met my adoptive mother in the last 20 years of her life could abide her, while many people who have seen my play find her fascinating. Heavens, what have I done?!

The first gathering of salads, radishes and herbs made me feel like a mother about her baby – how could anything so beautiful be mine?

As your mother tells you, and my mother certainly told me, it is important, she always used to say, always to try new things.

The belief that we are defending the highest good of the mothers of our race and the ultimate welfare of society makes every sacrifice seem trivial, every duty a pleasure.

My mum never understood how much I earned. When I told her I earned a million pounds a film, she said, ‘How much is that?’

My Mom and I shopped all the time, she shops all the time, and I was always into fashion. I’ve been blessed to be in a situation where I can now buy some of the things that look good.
