The fame you earn has a different taste from the fame that is forced upon you

I do take very good care of myself, and I'm always in love. And by that I mean I have an appetite for life. I'm in love with beauty and things and people and love and being in love, and those things I think, on the inside, show on the outside.

Everything in life is elusive.

There's a saying I read recently; I painted it on the fireplace and in my studio: "Be kind to everyone you meet, for everyone is fighting a great battle." We all are. Everyone.

When anybody says, 'Why me?' Why is 'me' exempt?

I don't think age has anything to do with what you write about.

Why not me? Suffering, she understood, is, in fact, random, universal.
