If you want a place in the sun, you have to expect a few blisters
We must resist the temptations to be very wasteful of simple things, tossing them aside as of no consequence, in a world of almost frenetic concentration on material success.
My work has brought me into contact with the world's finest designers. I had a lot to learn. I have learned a lot. I found out you can learn a lot about yourself as a person, too-while you're learning how to use fashion in your life.
Listening is more than just a very rewarding habit. After awhile you discover what a world of information you can gain from hearing what others say, and If you're interested, you're interesting. All the most popular people are good listeners.
When we came to do the take, I did it my way. I played it with all the emotional abandon I possessed and loved every second of my performance.
Way off in 2060, I wonder what we do today will look like in perspective, and after it's been sifted through the objectivity of time.
I have a full, rich respect for fashion. I love its whimsy, its humor, its charm and its rewards. I love its vagaries and its demands. I love what it does for women. But I know, with all my heart, that no woman should follow it blindly.
What you don't know intrigues you more than what you do know. I believed all those love stories-the hero was the hero-because that's what I grew up with. I loved the romance and the roses, but when it came to a more realistic life, I would back away.
Hands are always conspicuous, and if used carelessly, they'll always detract, never be a plus to the enhancement of personality.
As soon as I get home from a day of work, I bathe, brush my hair, put on fresh makeup, and slip into a hostess gown.
At the beginning of World War II, a fine young actor placed his whole career-work, money, popularity-on the altar of what he believed... Our country was at war. Very few cared what he said. He was accused, judged, vilified.
Neither sheep nor mavericks will ever get to the head of the class. Ignorance is forgivable, unorthodoxy is tolerated. Bad taste and expulsion are synonymous.
One of the loveliest women I know has the most unrelieved assemblage of homely features I've ever seen.
So I'm a square! Well, at least I'm not a square peg in a round hole.
