For a while I was on the cover of every Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, which was regarded as the pinnacle of success in America.

If your wearing lingerie that makes you feel glamorous, you're halfway thereto turning heads.

It's not vanity to feel you have a right to be beautiful. Women are taught to feel we're not good enough, that we must live up to someone else's standards. But my aim is to cherish myself as I am.

I feel beautiful when I'm at peace with myself. When I'm serene, when I'm a good person, when I've been considerate of others.

Having children is my greatest achievement. It was my saviour. It switched my focus from the outside to the inside. My children are gifts, they remind me of what's important.

You have nothing to sell except for the image: The image is everything.

I used to wear heels because I wanted to show people I wasn't ashamed of being tall.

I feel beautiful when I'm at peace with myself.

Underwear is such an emotional thing.

The birth of my sons. The birth of new emotions...what a privilege. What a blessing.

I like colourful knickers, but most importantly a great pair of knickers should be taken off with more joy than they were put on.

Money looks better in the bank than on your feet.

So what else have they said you can’t do and how many of those have you believed?

Never forget that you solely owe unconditional self-love and massive success to yourself.

If you keep groaning, please do it to a rythmn I can dance to.

I love the Christmas-tide, and yet, I notice this, each year I live; I always like the gifts I get, But how I love the gifts I give!

Whatever shall be to the advantage of all, may that prevail!

A musical takes two to five years. You have to love it to put in the years.

If only Heaven will give me just another ten years... Just another five more years, then I could become a real painter.

We are no longer dealing with historical events, but with places of collapse.

The less you take from the land, the less you owe in return.
