I know how to say ‘no’ in twelve languages. That’s enough for a woman.

A woman’s dress should be like a barbed-wire fence: serving its purpose without obstructing the view.

And as I walk round the park I always think, ‘Maybe round the corner I am going to find something beautiful.’ I always think positively. It is very rare that you find me in a mood that is sad or melancholic.

I think the quality of sexiness comes from within. It is something that is in you or it isn’t and it really doesn’t have much to do with breasts or thighs or the pout of your lips.

There’s no pleasure in working if you don’t do the things you want to do.

I think the quality of sexiness comes from within.

I don’t like to go in places where women talk and gossip. The atmosphere I don’t like, even though you can sometimes meet nice people. For me, it’s a waste of time.

It is to be remarked that a good many people are born curiously unfitted for the fate waiting them on this earth.
