This is what you do on your very first day in Paris. You get yourself, not a drizzle, but some honest-to-goodness rain, and you find yourself someone really nice and drive her through the Bois de Boulogne in a taxi. The rain's very important. That's when Paris smells its sweetest. It's the damp chestnut trees.
To pull off any look, wear it with confidence.
There are more important things than outward appearance. No amount of makeup can cover an ugly personality.
Giving is living. If you stop wanting to give, there's nothing more to live for.
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.
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.
There is more to sex appeal than just measurements
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.
For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
My greatest victory has been to be able to live with myself, to accept my shortcomings. I'm a long way from the human being I'd liked to be, but I've decided I'm not so bad after all.
Let's face it, a nice creamy chocolate cake does a lot for a lot of people; it does for me.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries or the way she combs her hair.
As the years go on, you see changes in yourself, but you've got to face that - everyone goes through it... Either you have to face up to it and tell yourself you're not going to be eighteen all your life, or be prepared for a terrible shock when you see the wrinkles and white hair. Getting older doesn't frighten me, but I wish I didn't have to because I like life a lot.
I heard a definition once: Happiness is health and a short memory! I wish I'd invented it, because it is very true.
