Angels are like diamonds. They can't be made, you have to find them. Each one is unique.

I have never been a believer that nice clothes should only be for people with money.

We're traditional and don't do cutting-edge styles, but after 17 years we're holding our own.

After having children, life becomes about living beyond yourself; about being bigger and better.

You have to be reasonable with yourself and not feel guilty when things aren't perfect.

It's not about me, it's about my family. You don't answer questions for you, but for us. You learn to live beyond yourself.

I have had to learn about saying no.

Time whizzes by when you have children. They make you aware of the passing of time, but also help keep you young.

Just because something is three months away and seems far off, doesn't mean you will want to be there when the time comes.

Cancer stops you in your tracks. It really makes you think about what's important. In a second, life can change. Don't ever forget to say thank you for love and family. What good is your success without them?

Chemotherapy isn't easy. I felt very fortunate I wouldn't have to go through that.

Family is always first. Even though my kids are older - my son is 25 and my daughter is 21 - I still like to sit down and have dinner with them as much as I can.

Farrah Fawcett had courage, she had strength, and she had faith.

I always tell my children, 'You have to face your fear. If not, it's like running from a dog that will bite you in the back.'

I de-stress with my family, just at home pruning roses, cutting, working in the garden.

I never looked good in a bikini. My legs were too thin.

I was the first actress who branded her own line at a time when everyone just lent their name to a product. Everyone said I shouldn't do it, but it was probably the best thing I've ever done.

I'm an old-fashioned girl, and I didn't believe in living with people, so I guess I married for the wrong reasons at times.

I'm not about my breasts; I'm just about good health, OK. I'm not afraid of doing what I need to do to stay here. I really don't understand women who are in denial, who don't want to go for a mammogram. I think it's stupidity. Sorry. I have no patience for that.

I've always been into older homes, even if I have to refurbish or remodel or raise roof lines or knock out walls.

More than 100 million women have worn my clothing and accessories,, and that's so fulfilling. My skincare line proves you don't have to spend a fortune to have beautiful skin. I've loved acting but if I never played another role and just focused on my business, I'd be happy.

My first acting job was a Breck commercial.

My mother lived till she was 95 and never had a line on her face or a frown line. She was beautiful.

Panic is a horrible thing.

You must understand the texture of your hair before you choose a style.

Having cancer does make you try to be better at everything you do and enjoy every moment. It changes you forever. But it can be a positive change.

Chemotherapy isnt easy. I felt very fortunate I wouldnt have to go through that.

Dance is very, very old. With Louis XIV at Versailles is where ballet started.

I wanted to be a ballet teacher.

Classical ballet will never die.

I've got no plans to be a ballet dancer at the moment.

When life takes me on a new journey, I simply remember the smile my first ballet recital put on my face and I move forward.

Ballet is sort of a mystery to me. And I don't want to unravel that mystery.

The moment the curtain rose on that first ballet, I knew something wonderful and new had come into my life. I can still see the first scene. The ballet was Divertimento No. 15.

My grandmother had a Miss Margaret's School of Dance to teach tap and ballet to kids, but I never studied it. I was raised a Mormon and they're dancing fools. It's the only vice they have - dancing.

The real beauty of it - key to my life was playing key chords on a banjo. For somebody else it may be a golf club that mom and dad put in their hands or a baseball or ballet lessons. Real gift to give to me and put it in writing.

My background is somewhat unusual, as I trained to be a ballet dancer. I worked in the theatre for eight or nine years as a contemporary dancer. But as an actor one does read Shakespeare and does try to learn the classics.

However, the moral center of New York City, I believe, is the New York City Ballet.

I have ballet class every other day for two hours. And for "Six Feet Under", last week there was a sequence where I had to do a whole choreographed dance number, so I had four hours of dance practice every day.

I do take class because I still dance, and yes, I do slip into class with the Royal Ballet from time to time.

And it is always Easter Sunday at the New York City Ballet. It is always coming back to life. Not even coming back to life - it lives in the constant present.

It's no good running a pig farm badly for 30 years while saying, 'Really, I was meant to be a ballet dancer.' By then, pigs will be your style.

For 24 hours a day, for 10 years, all I thought about was being in a band. That's all I did. I had no other social life. I don't want my life to be like that now. I've spent the past 10 years having a real life as well. But Spandau Ballet is such a difficult shadow to outrun.

When other little girls wanted to be ballet dancers I kind of wanted to be a vampire.

The New York City Ballet is always about the realm of possibilities, the realm of what the human body can do, what the human spirit can do. And it's about listening, it's about listening to remarkable music and how we respond to that.

I used to dance when I was younger - ballet and modern dance.
