My husband does not like me to give interviews because I say too much. No talk, no trouble.

If you know how rich you are, you are not rich. But me, I am not aware of the extent of my wealth. That's how rich we are.

Never dress down for the poor. They won't respect you for it. They want their First Lady to look like a million dollars.

God is love. I have loved. Therefore, I will go to heaven.

The problems with First Ladies is that you have to set the standard. My role is to be both star and slave.

It's the rich you can terrorize. The poor have nothing to lose.

I have never been a material girl. My father always told me never to love anything that cannot love you back.

My dreams have become puny with the reality my life has become.

I have a different way of thinking. I think synergistically. I'm not linear in thinking, I'm not very logical.

I am First Lady by accident. I was not elected by the people but here I am.

When they see me holding fish, they can see that I am comfortable with kings as well as with paupers.

I get so tired listening to one million dollars here, one million dollars there, it's so petty.

I was no Marie Antoinette. I was not born to nobility, but I had a human right to nobility.

If you know how much you've got, you probably haven't got much.

I hate ugliness. You know I'm allergic to ugliness.

We practically own everything in the Philippines.

Filipinos want beauty. I have to look beautiful so that the poor Filipinos will have a star to look at from their slums.

People say I'm extravagant because I want to be surrounded by beauty. But tell me, who wants to be surrounded by garbage?

I did not have three thousand pairs of shoes, I had one thousand and sixty.

Doesn't the fight for survival also justify swindle and theft? In self defence, anything goes.

Life is not a matter of place, things or comfort; rather, it concerns the basic human rights of family, country, justice and human dignity.

They call me corrupt, frivolous. I am not at all privileged. Maybe the only privileged thing is my face. And corrupt? God! I would not look like this if I am corrupt. Some ugliness would settle down on my system.

Win or lose, we go shopping after the election.

Continuous persecution of widows and orphans is a crime. Even the Bible says there is a specific place in hell for those who oppress widows.

I always say you can never be extravagant with beauty. Beauty is God made real. Beauty is life.

I hardly can sleep. I feel that my target now is really to save Mother Earth for humanity. And it's doable.

I love everybody. One of the great things about me is that I have a very positive attitude.

I really had no great love for shoes. I was a working First Lady; I was always in canvas shoes. I did nurture the shoes industry of the Philippines, and so every time there was a shoe fair, I would receive a pair of shoes as a token of gratitude.

I will come up with a project that will wipe out poverty in the Philippines in two years. I want to remove the people from economic crisis by using the Marcos wealth. Long after I'm gone, people will remember me for building them homes and roads and hospitals and giving them food.

It is shallow people who think beauty is frivolous or excessive. If you are bringing beauty and god, you are enriching the country. Rice feeds the body, books feed the mind, beauty feeds the soul. It is one thing I can really be proud of and stand tall in the world.

The Marcos era was the golden time for the Philippines. We had the lowest crime rate in the world in Manila and real development then. At last, people are starting to understand this.

The problem of the world today is the people talk on and on about democracy, freedom, justice. But I don't give a damn about democracy if I am worried about survival.

They went into my closets looking for skeletons, but thank God, all they found were shoes, beautiful shoes.

They've listed my name in the dictionary - 'Imeldific' is used to mean ostentatious extravagance... But the truth will prevail.

Life is not a matter of place things or comfort rather it concerns the basic human rights of family country justice and human dignity.

The Philippines is where Asia wears a smile. Beautiful products can only be made by happy people.

The Philippines is in a strategic position. It is both East and West, right and left, rich and poor. We are neither here nor there.

This is how psychiatry has functioned-as a kind of property arm of the government, who can put you away if your husband doesn't like you.

A good husband makes a good wife.

It's always been really important for me to try to maintain a balanced life, professional and personal, and this was absolutely something that my husband and I had hoped for.

I have finally become a husband and I am genuinely enjoying every moment of it.

My husband was actually very keen that I would become a Bond girl.

I must quit marrying men who feel inferior to me. Somewhere there must be a man who could be my husband and not feel inferior.

An ideal wife is any woman who has an ideal husband.

Nobody teaches you to be a father. Nobody teaches you to be a husband. Nobody teaches you how to be a star. You have to learn to work with the tools.

A true king is neither husband nor father; he considers his throne and nothing else.

Yes, I am seeking a husband. As soon as the right man asks me, I shall say, It is not good for a woman to live alone.

My husband and I are either going to buy a dog or have a child. We can't decide whether to ruin our carpet or ruin our lives.
