There are more important things than outward appearance. No amount of makeup can cover an ugly personality.
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
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.
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.
If I'm honest I have to tell you I still read fairy-tales and I like them best of all.
The best thing to hold onto in life is each other.
I believe in manicures. I believe in overdressing. I believe in primping at leisure and wearing lipsitck.
I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong
I believe, every day, you should have at least one exquisite moment.
You can even say that I hated myself at certain periods. I was too fat, or maybe too tall, or maybe just plain too ugly ... you can say my definiteness stems from underlying feelings of insecurity and inferiority. I couldn't conquer these feelings by acting indecisive. I found the only way to get the better of them was by adopting a forceful, concentrated drive.
