I am lucky. I had a very beautiful mother.

A woman's dress should be like a barbed-wire fence: serving its purpose without obstructing the view.

I think what you have inside reflects very much in your face, in your expression. If you can find a kind of equilibrium in life, you never really get old, because you have that kind of ingenuity and innocence inside that gives you that brightness and that glint in your eye that generally, getting older, you lose.

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.

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.

Once I put myself into a thing, I do my utmost, my very, very best.

Beauty is no handicap if you don't think about it.
