After forty a woman has to choose between losing her figure or her face. My advice is to keep your face, and stay sitting down.

The right diet directs sexual energy into the parts that matter.

France is the only place where you can make love in the afternoon without people hammering on your door.

When you get past fifty, you have to decide whether to keep your face or your figure. I kept my face.

I always wear boot polish on my eyelashes, because I am a very emotional person and it doesn't run when I cry.

People don't roll around naked in my books. I do allow them to go to bed if they're married, but it's all very wonderful and the moon beams.

My heroines are always virgins. They never go to bed without a ring on their fingers; not until page 118 at least.
