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.'

The eyes of a woman who never cried can not be beautiful.

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

Any woman can look her best if she feels good in her skin. It's not a question of clothes or makeup. It's how she sparkles.

Beauty is how you feel inside, and it reflects in your eyes. It is not something physical.

The fantasy of a man is the best weapon of a woman.

I can't bear being seen naked. I'm not exactly a tiny woman. When Sophia Loren is naked, this is a lot of nakedness.
