I love people who make me laugh. I honestly think it's the thing I like most, to laugh. It cures a multitude of ills. It's probably the most important thing in a person.

I never think of myself as an icon. What is in other people's minds is not in my mind. I just do my thing.

The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mode but the true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives the passion that she shows. The beauty of a woman grows with the passing years.

People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone.

I'm half-Irish, half-Dutch, and I was born in Belgium. If I was a dog, I'd be in a hell of a mess!

Pick the day. Enjoy it - to the hilt. The day as it comes. People as they come... The past, I think, has helped me appreciate the present - and I don't want to spoil any of it by fretting about the future.

If my world were to cave in tomorrow, I would look back on all the pleasures, excitements and worthwhilenesses I have been lucky enough to have had. Not the sadness, not my miscarriages or my father leaving home, but the joy of everything else. It will have been enough.

I've been lucky. Opportunities don't often come along. So, when they do, you have to grab them.

Since the world has existed, there has been injustice. But it is one world, the more so as it becomes smaller, more accessible. There is just no question that there is more obligation that those who have should give to those who have nothing.

I believe in manicures. I believe in overdressing. I believe in primping at leisure and wearing lipstick. I believe in pink. I believe happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day, and... I believe in miracles.

I'm an introvert... I love being by myself, love being outdoors, love taking a long walk with my dogs and looking at the trees, flowers, the sky.

If I'm honest I have to tell you I still read fairy-tales and I like them best of all.

It's that wonderful old-fashioned idea that others come first and you come second. This was the whole ethic by which I was brought up. Others matter more than you do, so 'don't fuss, dear; get on with it.'

I was born with an enormous need for affection, and a terrible need to give it.

Paris is always a good idea.

As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.

I was asked to act when I couldn't act. I was asked to sing 'Funny Face' when I couldn't sing, and dance with Fred Astaire when I couldn't dance - and do all kinds of things I wasn't prepared for. Then I tried like mad to cope with it.

I never thought I'd land in pictures with a face like mine.

Everything I learned I learned from the movies.

I have to be alone very often. I'd be quite happy if I spent from Saturday night until Monday morning alone in my apartment. That's how I refuel.

For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.

Nothing is impossible, the word itself says 'I'm possible'!

If I get married, I want to be very married.

I heard a definition once: Happiness is health and a short memory! I wish I'd invented it, because it is very true.

Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, it's at the end of your arm, as you get older, remember you have another hand: The first is to help yourself, the second is to help others.

The best thing to hold onto in life is each other.

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries or the way she combs her hair.

Success is like reaching an important birthday and finding you're exactly the same.

Let's face it, a nice creamy chocolate cake does a lot for a lot of people; it does for me.

There are certain shades of limelight that can wreck a girl's complexion.

I decided, very early on, just to accept life unconditionally; I never expected it to do anything special for me, yet I seemed to accomplish far more than I had ever hoped. Most of the time it just happened to me without my ever seeking it.

Living is like tearing through a museum. Not until later do you really start absorbing what you saw, thinking about it, looking it up in a book, and remembering - because you can't take it in all at once.

The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.

I love people who make me laugh. I honestly think it's the thing I like most, to laugh. It cures a multitude of ills. It's probably the most important thing in a person.

The most important thing is to enjoy your life - to be happy - it's all that matters.

When you have nobody you can make a cup of tea for, when nobody needs you, that's when I think life is over.

I don't want to be alone, I want to be left alone.

There is more to sex appeal than just measurements. I don't need a bedroom to prove my womanliness. I can convey just as much sex appeal, picking apples off a tree or standing in the rain.

I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles.

You can tell more about a person by what he says about others than you can by what others say about him.

Water is life, and clean water means health.

The most important thing is to enjoy your life – to be happy – it’s all that matters.

Nothing is impossible, the word itself says "I’m possible!"

I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles.

Nothing is impossible, the word itself says, "I’m possible!"

And the beauty of a woman, with passing years only grows!

The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes because that is the doorway to her heart the place where love resides.

I dont want to be alone I want to be left alone.
