Don't get older just to get wiser. If you get older, you will be wiser, I believe that - if you dare. But get older because it's fun!

In the fifties, you have your beauty as a treat. I thought that until I hit the sixties.In your sixties, life decides to reward you with certain kinds of profound appreciation, so that people name their children and schools and libraries after you! And you still have your sexuality and your sensuality. If you want your sexuality, you still have it.

I am a woman phenomenally, phenomenal woman that is your grandmother, that is your mother, that is your sister, that is you and that is me.

At the end of the day people won't remember what you said or did, they will remember how you made them feel.

If you are going down a road and don't like what's in front of you, and look behind you and don't like what you see, get off the road. Create a new path!

Life is pure adventure, and the sooner we realize that, the quicker we will be able to treat life as art.

I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back.
