Look, whenever I hear or read I’m beautiful, I simply don’t understand it … I’m certainly not beautiful in any conventional way. I didn't make my career on beauty.

I never expected to be a star, never counted on it, never even wanted it. Not that I didn't enjoy it all when it happened.

For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.

It is too much to hope that I shall keep up my success. I don't ask for that. All I shall do is my best- and hope.

Taking care of children has nothing to do with politics. I think perhaps with time, instead of there being a politicisation of humanitarian aid, there will be a humanisation of politics.

I can testify to what UNICEF means to children, because I was among those who received food and medical relief right after World War II.

Life is a party. Dress for it.
