I hope for better things, and I thank God the world is also full of people who want to be genuine and kind.

There are more important things than outward appearance. No amount of makeup can cover an ugly personality.

My greatest victory has been to be able to live with myself, to accept my shortcomings. I'm a long way from the human being I'd liked to be, but I've decided I'm not so bad after all.

I'm an introvert... I love being by myself, love being outdoors, love taking a long walk with my dogs and looking at the trees, flowers, the sky.

I don't believe in collective guilt, but I do believe in collective responsibility.

People associate me with a time when movies were pleasant, when women wore pretty dresses in films and you heard beautiful music. I always love it when people write me and and say 'I was having a rotten time, and I walked into a cinema and saw one of your movies, and it made such a difference.'

People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone.
