Our life dictates a certain kind of wardrobe.

I do isometrics in church so while I'm doing my soul some good, I'm doing my body some good, too.

I am basically a feminist. I think that women can do anything they decide to do.

My father had a very simple view of life: you don’t get anything for nothing. Everything has to be earned, through work, persistence and honesty. My father also had a deep charm, the gift of winning our trust. He was the kind of man with whom many people dream of spending an evening.

I loved acting. I didn’t particularly like being a movie star.

When at last I took the time to look into the heart of a flower, it opened up a whole new world; a world where every country walk would be an adventure, where every garden would become an enchanted one.

I was hired to be an actress, not a personality for the press.
