My husband does not like me to give interviews because I say too much. No talk, no trouble.

I did NOT have three thousand pairs of shoes, I had one thousand and sixty.

People say I'm extravagant because I want to be surrounded by beauty. But tell me, who wants to be surrounded by garbage?

Filipinos want beauty. I have to look beautiful so that the poor Filipinos will have a star to look at from their slums.

They went into my closets looking for skeletons, but thank God all they found were shoes, beautiful shoes.

My grandchildren are growing up and they could not understand why the Marcoses are still being crucified although we keep on telling them that we did not steal from the Filipino people.

If you know how rich you are, you are not rich. But me, I am not aware of the extent of my wealth. That's how rich we are.

I am beyond logic and rationality.

Win or lose, we go shopping after the election.

All my pains has always increased my sense of purpose.

Money is an echo of value.

[Arnold Schwarzenegger] is really good at ['The New Celebrity Apprentice' show]. Totally different energy to our potential president, but he's cool.

I'm not afraid of silence. You know, I'm not afraid to sit in a room and have the conversation drop into silence. I think that's a very southern thing.

I like cars that are ahead of their times, and that were noble failures because they were built to a higher standard than the consumer needed. Cars like the Wills Sainte Claire or the Duesenberg.

God must have loved the People in Power, for he made them so very like their own image of him.

The problem with having a job is that it gets in the way of getting rich.
