This idea that being youthful is the only thing that's beautiful or attractive simply isn't true. I don't want to be an 'ageless beauty.' I want to be a woman who is the best I can be at my age.

Nobody took me too seriously but I was grown up even as a baby.

I thought it might be a good move to get into a beauty contest so I tried for Miss Pennsylvania and won. I think that helped me get noticed, at least by the people of Pennsylvania.

When I was young, all I wanted to be was a movie star. At a certain point, I started to grow up and really care about what I did.

I feel like war should occur only for the most vital and necessary reasons, and only then.

A truly beautiful woman is always good and the other women, and to people in general. She rejects rivalry, intrigue and dirty tricks.

I understand what it's like to go to hospitals and there's no medicine, and the best thing you have to give the patients is compassion.
