I'm what is known as gradually disintegrating. I don't fear the next world, or anything. I don't fear hell, and I don't look forward to heaven.

It is the ordinary woman who knows something about love; the gorgeous ones are too busy being gorgeous.

The woman's position in the world today is so much harder than a man's that it makes me choke every time I hear a man complain about anything.

I would have been a terrible mother because I'm basically a very selfish human being. Not that that has stopped most people going off and having children.

I won't go to a restaurant to eat with friends, always join them afterwards for coffee. In company I always get over enthusiastic, and this leads to indigestion.

Don't give in! Make your own trail. Don't moan. Don't complain. Think positively.

Nobody owes anybody anything; it's up to each individual to set high standards for himself or herself, and to set about working hard and creating a solid future.
