I was born an only child in Vienna, Austria. My father found hours to sit by me by the library fire and tell fairy stories.

I never go to funerals. To me a person is dead when he breathes for the last time. After that, your memories should be personal.

I'd rather wear jewels in my hair than anywhere else. The face should have the advantage of this brilliance.

I was madly in love with life.

Some men like a dull life - they like the routine of eating breakfast, going to work, coming home, petting the dog, watching TV, kissing the kids, and going to bed. Stay clear of it - it's often catching.

Men are most virile and most attractive between the ages of 35 and 55. Under 35 a man has too much to learn, and I don't have time to teach him.

I appreciate subtlety. I have never enjoyed a kiss in front of the camera. There's nothing to it except not getting your lipstick smeared.
