I think the quality of sexiness comes from within. It is something that is in you or it isn't and it really doesn't have much to do with breasts or thighs or the pout of your lips.
There is no greater love potion than regular coffee, brewed his own. When a man tries it, he was not going anywhere.
I know how to say 'no' in twelve languages. That's enough for a woman.
Show business is what I do, not what I am.
Mistakes are the price of an interesting life.
Ignorance has its virtues; without it there'd be mighty little conversation.
True happiness is impossible without solitude.... I need solitude in my life as I need food and drink and the laughter of little children. Extravagant though it may sound, solitude is the filter of my soul. It nourishes me, and rejuvenates me. Left alone, I discovered that I keep myself good company.
Cooking is an act of love, a gift, a way of sharing with others the little secrets -- 'piccoli segreti' -- that are simmering on the burners.
I still like me, inside and out. Not in a vain way - I just feel good in my skin.
Good food is a celebration of life.
Isn't it wonderful to be alive? You know, you can forget all about it. Then suddenly you remember, and think of all the things you can do. Here I am. I can walk around. I can talk. I can see things and remember things. I am alive. How wonderful!
I was not intrigued with the accouterments of success and fame, the furs, jewels, expensive automobiles and mansions...

I'd much rather eat pasta and drink wine than be a size 0.
Is my mother my friend? I would have to say, first of all she is my Mother, with a capital 'M'; she's something sacred to me. I love her dearly...yes, she is also a good friend, someone I can talk openly with if I want to.
