I can't tell you that I like getting older, but I think I can cope with it because everybody gets older. Sometimes it's a little upsetting because time goes by and you want to do more and you have to accept life for what it is and find some new motivation that gives you drive and enthusiasm.

I was not interested in what I could bring to myself by being an actress, but in what I could bring out of myself.

I'm a very shy person and I never tried to do theater.

When I'm walking along in the street, I always feel that around the corner,there is something wonderful waiting for me. That's my attitude.

Nothing makes a woman more beautiful than the belief that she is beautiful.

I know how to say 'no' in twelve languages. That's enough for a woman.

And as I walk round the park I always think, 'Maybe round the corner I am going to find something beautiful.' I always think positively. It is very rare that you find me in a mood that is sad or melancholic.
