I am shocking, impertinent and insolent that's how it is.

I gave my beauty and my youth to men. I am going to give my wisdom and experience to animals.

I have been very happy, very rich, very beautiful, much adulated, very famous and very unhappy.

Fashion may not be a weapon of the woman but at least it gives her the ammunition.

When I love, I do it without counting. I give myself entirely. And each time, it is the grand love of my life.

Every age can be enchanting, provided you live within it.

A photograph can be an instant of life captured for eternity that will never cease looking back at you.

What could be more beautiful than a dear old lady growing wise with age? Every age can be enchanting, provided you live within it.

I'm a girl from a good family who was very well brought up. One day I turned my back on it all and became a bohemian.

If I could do anything about the way people behave towards each other, I would, but since I can't, I'll stick to animals.

I can't do the same thing every night, the same gestures... it's like putting on dirty panties every day.

Man is free Woyzeck. Man is the ultimate expression of the individual urge to freedom.

I seem to be able to get along with anybody when I work because I really enjoy being there.

The idea that marriage has to be for all time - that I don't understand.

Hollywood films are alienating to the spectator because they use too much dialogue, too much explication and leave no space for the viewer. They depress me.

As we pay our tithing faithfully, the Lord will open the windows of heaven and pour out upon us His richest blessings.

The nature of finite things is to have the seed of their passing-away as their essential being: the hour of their birth is the hour of their death.

Private citizens and companies are always seen as evil and greedy, because they want to profit. But the government picks your pocket any chance it can get, but they're never called greedy.

Now, a lot of people have given up on government. And if youre one of those people, I would ask that you reconsider, because things are changing. Politics is not changing; government is changing.

I write songs about real things... The subject dictates the mood and it goes from there, really.

You give up your future, lose your dreams, are stained with despair . . . Yet at the same time you shake off your past, fight reality, and never lose your nobility.
