When I don't plumb the depths or the opportunities of each day, I don't have joy.

I'm about to become a member of the Chemists Society of America. I'm very proud of that.

There came a moment in my life when I realized that I had stepped into another part of my life. I used to walk into a room full of people and think, do they like me? And one day I walk in and I thought, do I like them?

When I don't plumb the depths or the opportunities of each day, I don't have joy.

Success doesn't mean that you are healthy, success doesn't mean that you're happy, success doesn't mean that you're rested. Success really doesn't mean that you look good, or feel good, or are good.

Ignorance is not bliss, but in my case, that was.

There are two things in life that I really wanted to do: be an actress, and to be in skin care, and I've gotten to do both of them.

I grew up thinking that whatever I wanted to do, I could do.

As the years go by, I've added a few pounds on, and I like it. I like it that I look a little softer.

When women work together, it's a bond unlike any other.

Unless we keep this planet healthy, everything else is for naught.

I became so consumed with trying to live up to what the public expected that I lost myself. I don't know of anyone else who can say this.

When I became a mature woman, I put both feet firmly on the side of maturity.

Victory Over Violence is an organization that was created to help fund shelters for women and children.

I believe that how you feel is very important to how you look - that healthy equals beautiful.

I enjoy speaking to other women about turning 50, and how we can enjoy it, and how we can explore it.

It is so easy to forget that this is good that we're alive. We should be enjoying this gift of being alive.

If wanted to play a sport, I played a sport. If I wanted to do things that many girls born in 1950 didn't do, I did it.

I try to treat people the way I would like to be treated, but I can't worry about what everyone's going to think.

Oprah is so bright, and her intelligence is so piercing that I don't think anyone who spends a few minutes with her isn't struck by that.

Being an agent gave me a great sense of satisfaction.

Don't strive to be perfect. Strive for excellence.

I'm generally competing with the ideal I have set for myself, and I've found that served me very well.

I went to a woman for advice about how to be in business, but I learned a great deal from men.

I was very lucky. My parents raised me in such a way that it never occurred to me that I wasn't equal.

I arrived in California with no job, no car, and no money, but, like millions of other girls, a dream.

I went to find myself and save myself by being an agent.

As long as my body is in shape, my mind is working at its full capacity.

You can't be responsible for the way people respond to you. You're only responsible for yourself.

It used to be you wanted to marry up.

No one can make me work harder than I do, so I'm generally not interested in who I am competing with.

When I started Victoria Principal Products, there were 22 full-time employees - they were all women.

I got even with all the bad management I had by being a good manager.

I believe that how you feel is very important to how you look that healthy equals beautiful.

Vision without action is a daydream. Action without vision is a nightmare.

I did work out every day. I needed it to have the endurance to do what needed to be done and not get hurt. I have such a new respect for action stars now.

I mean the only thing that is hopefully good about us is after the arguments we can actually still face each other the next day or the day after and talk about something else and sort of get over it.

My favorite singer to this day is Nat King Cole. I've tried to emulate his phrasing. It is so absolutely beautiful to listen to his lovely voice.

I want to have babies one day but not right now. When I do it I want to do it really well. I want it to be my best project in life.

I think I've become a much better singer and a much better player. Years and years of playing a couple of hours every day will do that.

I am tomorrow, or some future day, what I establish today. I am today what I established yesterday or some previous day.

I just wrote one song at a time. Kinda like an alcoholic. One day at a time.

Working mothers do an hour more per day than working fathers do and working mothers do on average an hour more per day with the kids than working fathers do.

When it is time to get to work, I go away completely and don't do anything except the work. And that can be 16 hours a day.

George Pal had total control, and he was there on the set every day. You never met a more charming man in your entire lifetime - what a lovely gentleman.

I'll tell you what I did need to learn was tolerance, and I think I've been actually given a daily opportunity to practice that, and it's - it's - and I know that that sounds almost like a backhanded slap, and it is in a way because I haven't been successful at it every day.

Since the beginning, I always loved the game. When you grow up in Montreal, one day you want to be a professional hockey player. When I was six or seven, I knew that was what I wanted.

Depending on what day of the week it is and what time of the month it is, I'm a good friend or not a good friend. I'm more or less a good mom or not a good mom, more or less a good mate or not a good mate. That's just life, whether or not you're public.

Even if you walk exactly the same route each time - as with a sonnet - the events along the route cannot be imagined to be the same from day to day, as the poet's health, sight, his anticipations, moods, fears, thoughts cannot be the same.
