If you can learn to use your mind as well as your powder puff, you will become more truly beautiful.

As far as beauty is concerned, in order to be confident we must accept that the way we look and feel is our own responsibility.

I was so skinny, they gave me the nickname stechetto - the stick. I was tall, thin, ugly and dark like an Arab girl. I looked strange. All eyes. No flesh on my bones.

I eat a lot of salad, a little meat, and some fruit—that’s all. But I like sweets.

No press conference announcing a last film. I'd just steal away. Best way because, if by chance after two or three years something interesting comes up, I would not - like Sinatra - have to say: 'Well, I've thought it over and decided to come back.'

Sometimes when you involve yourself in so many things, you can't do any of them well - and I like to do everything perfectly.
