I find vocabulary to be a great drawback.

I never planned to acquire a lot of jewels or a lot of husbands. For me, life happened, just as it does for anyone else.

Sometimes I think we know too much about our idols and that spoils the dream.

Everything was handed to me - looks, fame, wealth, honour, love. I rarely had to fight for anything

My forties are the best time I have ever gone through.

You just do it. You force yourself to get up. You force yourself to put one foot before the other, and God damn it, you refuse to let it get to you. You fight. You cry. You curse. Then you go about the business of living. That's how I've done it. There's no other way.

Oh, I love red. I'm very loyal to my colors. I love violet.
