I have never known the time when I did not wear stays. My stays are part of me.

I know I am very beautiful.

It is quite lovely being single, and I much prefer it.

Whatever success I may have attained is due to the fact that since I was old enough to work at all, my ambition has never deserted me.

I am very, very proud of my ability as a cook.

I have given up trying to be happy. It is no use an leads to nothing.

A woman should be like a single flower, not a whole bouquet.
