“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 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.

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.

I still don’t know what I want to do when I grow up.

As far as beauty is concerned, in order to be confident we must accept that the way we look and feel is our own responsibility.

After all these years, I am still involved in the process of self-discovery. It’s better to explore life and make mistakes than to play it safe. Mistakes are part of the dues one pays for a full life.

Transformation is something I cannot explain – too much analysis might destroy it.

You can always dream. Life is full of dreams that you can fulfill.

Many people think they want things, but they don’t really have the strength, the discipline. They are weak. I believe that you get what you want if you want it badly enough.

Success, I would find out, is interior. It has to do with self-fulfillment and the joy of living.

It’s necessary to have an energy that carries you forward. You need the will to live, to have a great curiosity. To look for the best in life, to find new interests.

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.

If you don’t have the roots somewhere, it’s very difficult for people to work with you. Because you are a different person from them. They don’t know you, really. They don’t know how you feel.

Be honest about what you can get. To make a sacrifice and to get what you want you need to be very certain. In other words: always think about your objective, have a clear goal and commit to it from the heart.

Let children walk with nature, let them see the beautiful blendings and communions of death and life.

A true partner or friend is one who encourages you to look deep inside yourself for the beauty and love you’ve been seeking.

Until we can comprehend the beguiling beauty of a single flower, we are woefully unable to grasp the meaning and potential of life itself.

Beauty beyond thought everywhere, beneath, above, made and being made forever.

Unconditional love is all you have. You can’t overdose on love, you never can. It’s a beautiful thing.

As long as you find something beautiful, good, and true to believe in and abide by, you have the equivalent of God in your life.

One must labor for beauty as for bread.

Today is cruel. Tomorrow is crueller. And the day after tomorrow is beautiful.
