I'm a person who is only invested in the pleasures and enjoyments of life. All the rest is left to the men. I've always remained what you might call "feminine" about the whole [work] thing.

I think when you’re young you should be a lot with yourself and your sufferings. Then one day you get out where the sun shines and the rain rains and the snow snows and it all comes together.

There's only one very good life and that's the life you know you want and you make it yourself.

Don't look back. Just go ahead. Give ideas away. Under every idea there's a new idea waiting to be born.

All people are meant to be creative in a certain way. What way? Perhaps I was cut out to be a wonderful housewife, with a marvelous sense of cooking, being with my friends, running a perfect house. But I am not ambitious towards anything.

When I arrived in America, I had these very dark red nails which some people objected to, but then some people object to absolutely everything.

I've always had such wonderful opportunities, but I never made the effort, haven't put on the pressure. But I never took them.
