As the years go on, you see changes in yourself, but you've got to face that - everyone goes through it... Either you have to face up to it and tell yourself you're not going to be eighteen all your life, or be prepared for a terrible shock when you see the wrinkles and white hair. Getting older doesn't frighten me, but I wish I didn't have to because I like life a lot.

You can even say that I hated myself at certain periods. I was too fat, or maybe too tall, or maybe just plain too ugly ... you can say my definiteness stems from underlying feelings of insecurity and inferiority. I couldn't conquer these feelings by acting indecisive. I found the only way to get the better of them was by adopting a forceful, concentrated drive.

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

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

I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles.

I don't want to be alone, I want to be left alone.

When you have nobody you can make a cup of tea for, when nobody needs you, that's when I think life is over.
