Believe in yourself.. in all you can do.. and for you the deals will start to work in your favor. You need to be open to such deals and they will come I assure you.

I feel young at heart, and I feel, like, you know, 40.

As you get older, your tastes get simpler. I like a sleek evening dress with a pair of big earrings. That's all.

There's nothing my housekeeper does that I can't do - and maybe better!

I'm young at heart and dress accordingly.

Gorgeous hair is the best revenge.

There are three things in life I really don't like: Rice pudding. Social climbers - you know, hang-ons! And the photo shoot!

I want great food and wine, and friends to enjoy it all.

Fiction writing is great. You can make up almost anything.

When I was doing poorly at school, my father yanked me out and got me a job in a shoe factory. After three weeks, I begged him to give me another chance at doing well in school. I learned that discipline is necessary to accomplish anything in life.

I made a tremendous amount of money on real estate. I'll take real estate rather than go to Wall Street and get 2.8 percent. Forget about it.

I make money because I have to pay for everything apart from my school fees. My mother even makes me pay my own telephone bill.

I can ski backwards on one ski. And foldblinded!

Travelling so much, sometimes my luggage goes astray. But I can get the right stuff sent to me overnight by a special shipper. No big deal.

Life is life, so try to enjoy it. You only have one life.

I wear black all the time.

For many years I enjoyed the pleasure of cruising on my yacht all summer long and these were my best holidays. In mid-May, we'd start in St Tropez. I'd collect my bikinis from my home there and then we'd go up to Cannes for the Film Festival, on to Monte Carlo for the Grand Prix and then to Italy.

For example, if I make money, I put it in real estate. I always did very well. Location, location, location.

I have good legs, and why to hide them?

In Positano, I like the San Pietro Hotel, which is run by a friend whose family has owned the hotel for more than 100 years.

Don't get mad. Get everything!

You have to have the common sense.

I always felt very secure and very safe with real estate. Real estate always appreciates.

Generally, I think America is America. America has been through suffering like other countries, but America will come up. I have no doubt. It's just going to bounce. You know, you have ups and downs.

New York City is a very tough place. I'm tough, too. When people give me a punch in the nose, I react by getting even tougher.

Looking good is the best revenge.

I tell you, if I'm going to go through a divorce, I would date again a younger man. Because I have so much energy, there's no way an older man can keep up with me.
