Having had five husbands, I guess I should know a thing or two about marriage.

I mean, even my dressing room at the studio has candles and cushions and cashmere rugs and things.

Age is just a number. It's totally irrelevant unless, of course, you happen to be a bottle of wine.

I've spent years when I've not been in the limelight at all and I'm perfectly happy living my life without being swooped on by paparazzi.

The problem with beauty is that it's like being born rich and getting poorer.

But I have had to give up certain things in my life. One is shopping. Two is lunch with the girls. Three is cocktail parties, and four is studying my lines.

The secret of having a personal life is not answering too many questions about it.

Happiness is a choice. Happiness does not depend on outward conditions but on inward decisions.

Man never thinks himself happy, but when he enjoys those things which others want or desire.

Ah, lives there a man with soul so dead, who never to himself hath said As he hunched and rolled in his comfortable bed: To hell with the rent . . . I'll drink instead!

Success lies in doing not what others consider to be great but what you consider to be right.

Enjoy your work and work for whom you admire.
