The greatest of all contraceptives is affluence.

I discovered [Joan of Arc] toward the age of ten or twelve, when I went to France. I don't remember where I read about her, but I recall that she immediately took on a definite importance for me. I wanted to sacrifice my life for my country. It seems like foolishness and yet...what happens when we're children is engraved forever on our lives.

If you only knew, for instance, how much I enjoy being a grandmother! Do you know I'm twice a grandmother? Rajiv and Sonia have had a boy and a girl.

Every new experience brings its own maturity and a greater clarity of vision.

I've never understood women who, because of their children, pose as victims and don't allow themselves any other activities.

When I was young, I was very selfish, now not any more.

There is not love where there is no will.
