I have a terrible time remembering exactly when my birthday is. Age is totally boring.

Naturally, I’ve always been mad about clothes. You don’t get born in Paris to forget about clothes for a minute.

Don't you loathe the word "workaholic"? It has nothing to do with an important thing, that you and your secretary are at the office until 6:30. But that's life, kiddo. 24-hour work doesn't go on in America. 24-hour work is what Italy and Holland did after the war. The lights never went out!

You don't have to be born beautiful to be wildly attractive.

Prettiness is not a rent you pay for occupying a space marked 'female'

If you had a bump on your nose, it made no difference so long as you had a marvelous body & good carriage. You held your head high, & you were a beauty You knew how to water-ski, & how to take a jet plane fast in the morning, arrive anywhere, & be anyone when you got off.

If you think all the time every day of your life, you might as well kill yourself today and be happier tomorrow.
