“I 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.”

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.

I 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.

Believe me, it is actions that count.

Sex is like washing your face – just something you do because you have to. Sex without love is absolutely ridiculous. Sex follows love, it never precedes it.

Without my mother’s ambition, her drive, I doubt that on my own I would have pushed myself out of Pozzuoli and into the frightening world that was faraway Rome.

Though 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.

Where youthful beauty is unconscious, mature beauty is knowing and sophisticated.

My philosophy is that it’s better to explore life and make mistakes than to play it safe and not to explore at all.

When I’m walking along in the street, I always feel that around the corner, there is something wonderful waiting for me. That’s my attitude.

The mirror of your health is your skin. If you drink, it shows in your face; if you eat the wrong foods, you have pimples. If you take care of your food and you lead a healthy life, your skin will look wonderful.

I’d much rather eat pasta and drink wine than be a size 0.

Beauty is no handicap if you don’t think about it.

Dom DeLuise was a big man in every way. He was big in size and created big laughter and joy.

The second Saturday in September, we’re going to have conference day. Everybody from the SEC plays a Big 12 team.

I try to block out everything that distracts me. Even a big play, I blank it out.

If what you did yesterday seems big, you haven’t done anything today.

I had almost three acres of land in Beverly Hills. And I had a big atrium of chickens because I love that feeling of being in the country and living from the soil.

People like me sound like a lot of big cannons.

Philosophy is common sense with big words.

Every time I go to big events, it’s a trip. I feel like that kid who shouldn’t really be there.
