I still don’t know what I want to do when I grow up.
SOPHIA LORENI still don’t know what I want to do when I grow up.
SOPHIA LORENI am lucky. I had a very beautiful mother.
SOPHIA LORENYou really have to be satisfied with what you are and accept from life what it still very generously offers you – and notice it, and be glad for it.
SOPHIA LORENI have never judged myself by other people’s standards. I have always expected a great deal of myself, and if I fail, I fail myself.
SOPHIA LORENGood food is a celebration of life.
SOPHIA LORENThough poor and anxious to work, I refused to alter anything. They would take me as I looked or not at all. Eventually I profited by looking like myself and not like what was fashionable years ago with certain film technicians in Rome.
SOPHIA LORENSuccess, I would find out, is interior. It has to do with self-fulfillment and the joy of living.
SOPHIA LORENI still like me, inside and out. Not in a vain way – I just feel good in my skin.
SOPHIA LORENI’ve never tried to block out the memories of the past, even though some are painful. I don’t understand people who hide from their past. Everything you live through helps to make you the person you are now.
SOPHIA LORENI don’t like to run. I don’t like to jump up and down. Being a big girl and having a bosom, I injure myself! It upsets me, I have to hold my two things. I just can’t jog, there’s something in the way.
SOPHIA LORENThere is no greater love potion than regular coffee, brewed his own. When a man tries it, he was not going anywhere.
SOPHIA LORENYou must all, somewhere deep in your hearts, believe that you have a special beauty that is like no other and that is so valuable that you must not abandon it. Indeed, you must learn to cherish it.
SOPHIA LORENBe 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.
SOPHIA LORENMany 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.
SOPHIA LORENBeauty is no handicap if you don’t think about it.
SOPHIA LORENYou do not become a star, you are born a star. A star is born with that indefinable extra something.
