My goal was not to have huge luxuries. As a child, I wanted a house with a garden, which I have today. This is what I dreamed of. I’d never worry about age if I knew I could go on being loved and having the possibility to love... So it isn’t age or even death that one fears, as much as loneliness and the lack of affection.

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries or the way she combs her hair.

Who thinks you're as fantastic as your dog does?

The most important thing is growing old gracefully.

Elegance is the only beauty that never fades.

Fewer things are lovelier to me than a full-blown rose when it opens up its heart.

True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul.
