I am not beautiful. My mother once called me an ugly duckling. But,listed separately, I have a few good features.
Gardening is the greatest tonic and therapy a human being can have. Even if you have only a tiny piece of earth, you can create something beautiful, which we all have a great need for. If we begin by respecting plants, it's inevitable we'll respect people.
When I wear a silk scarf I never feel so definitely like a woman, a beautiful woman
A woman can be beautiful as well as intellectual.
People associate me with a time when movies were pleasant, when women wore pretty dresses in films and you heard beautiful music. I always love it when people write me and and say 'I was having a rotten time, and I walked into a cinema and saw one of your movies, and it made such a difference.'
Beauty is being the best possible version of yourself, inside and out.
To be beautiful lips - say kind words. To my eyes were beautiful - radiate good. A woman's beauty is not in the clothes, not in its shape or hairstyle. Beauty woman in her eyes, because the eyes - is the gateway to the heart, where love lives.
And I always heard people in New York never get to know their neighbors.
The more there is, the less I want. The more man flies to the moon, the more I want to look at a tree.
Thursday? Oh no, it can't be! It's too gruesome.
A child is a child in any country, whatever the politics. Let's get down to basics. That's what a child forces you to do. Nothing else much matters, there is no complicated diplomacy, when a child is starving. It's simple. And we'd better do something about it. For our sakes, too. That is, if we want to continue to call ourselves human.
As a child, I was taught that it was bad manners to bring attention to yourself, and to never, ever make a spectacle of yourself...all of which I've earned a living doing.
Work as hard as you can, whatever you do, and try to spread generosity of spirit.
On the one hand maybe I’ve remained infantile, while on the other I matured quickly, because at a young age I was very aware of suffering and fear.
