The Marcos era was the golden time for the Philippines. We had the lowest crime rate in the world in Manila and real development then. At last, people are starting to understand this.

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.

Doesn't the fight for survival also justify swindle and theft? In self defence, anything goes.

I have never been a material girl. My father always told me never to love anything that cannot love you back.

I am beyond logic and rationality.

Win or lose, we go shopping after the election.

I love Mormon boys!

The smell of hyacinths in the summer night air. At this moment, standing here with a boy I just met who already feels like home, I am overwhelmed with city love.

I believe alien life is quite common in the universe, although intelligent life is less so. Some say it has yet to appear on planet Earth.

Instead of envying what others have, decide what YOU want out of life and focus on achieving it.

Gods are nothing without their worshipers; they act on the affairs and the passions of men.

Well, let's put in this way, I grew up in West New York, New Jersey.

Don't you agree, fuzzball?

The woman who does not choose to love should cut the matter short at once, by holding out no hopes to her suitor.

I have been incredibly privileged with my roles - after all I have had the chance to do some fantastic fun acting such as the Spice Girls Movie - who can ever forget that!

There's nothing the world loves more than a ready-made description which they can hang on to a man, and so save themselves all trouble in future.
