The first time anything happens to you - your first love, your first success - the second one is never the same.

If there was one thing I had never been, it was mysterious, and if there was one thing I had never done, it was not talk.

Men need to feel important. They feel better when they're with younger girls or unknown girls.

I'm crazy enough to believe in taking chances in every way, in making choices and gambling with your life. That's the kind of gambling I believe in.

Life is amazing, life is odd. Life is not what you expected it to be. Things happen... Growing up takes longer than you think.

When a woman reaches twenty-six in America, she's on the slide. It's downhill all the way from then on. It doesn't give you a tremendous feeling of confidence and well-being.

Everything in this country [the US] has got to be good looks and unlined faces and thin bodies and people running around in skirts slit up to their ass. It has nothing to do with thinking or with being a human being. There is life in mature people; it's not all over at 24½.
