I'm half-Irish, half-Dutch, and I was born in Belgium. If I was a dog, I'd be in a hell of a mess!

It's sad if people think that's (homemaking) a dull existance, [but] you can't just buy an apartment and furnish it and walk away. It's the flowers you choose, the music you play, the smile you have waiting. I want it to be gay and cheerful, a haven in this troubled world. I don't want my husband and children to come home and find a rattled woman. Our era is already rattled enough, isn't it?

The more there is, the less I want. The more man flies to the moon, the more I want to look at a tree.

As much as I loved the art and discipline of the dance, it didn't love me!

For me the only things of interests are those linked to the heart

I've always had- how shall I say it? -the prize at the end. My whole life shows that.

I lack self-confidence. I don't know whether I shall ever get it. Perhaps it is better to be unsure of your self, as I am. But it is very tiring.
