There is so much that people take for granted.

In history people dressed much better than we do today.

I think feminists are unaware of the tremendous extent of the role of women in history.

When I was a little girl you used to learn to sew all the holes in things, darning socks, but nobody mends things anymore.

It is not possible for a man to be elegant without a touch of femininity.

How impossible it is for us to imagine ourselves victims of disaster. We suffer for the poor people who were thrown into the sea from their cruise ship off the coast of Tuscany, some losing their lives. Imagine a world of accelerating natural disasters, one after the other so that nobody can help anyone else.

My biggest criticism is how can people be so easily satisfied? Even people with talent.
