I am basically a feminist. I think that women can do anything they decide to do.

The idea of my life as a fairy tale is itself a fairy tale.

I avoid looking back. I prefer good memories to regrets.

I love walking in the woods, on the trails, along the beaches. I love being part of nature. I love walking alone. It is therapy. One needs to be alone, to recharge one's batteries.

I never say 'never,' and I never say 'always.'

A person has to keep something to herself or you're life is just a layout in a magazine.

I've had happy moments in my life, but I don't think that happiness-- being happy-- is a perpetual state that anyone can be in. Life isn't that way.

Mr. Hitchcock taught me everything about cinema. It was thanks to him that I understood that murder scenes should be shot like love scenes and love scenes like murder scenes.

The pearl is the queen of gems and the gem of queens.

When I married Prince Rainier, I married the man and not what he represented or what he was. I fell in love with him without giving a thought to anything else.

Emancipation of women has made them lose their mystery.

Most people have not become better than they were five years ago because people hardly invest time into improving their knowledge, skills, and talents.

I am not moved by riches and fame, but selflessness and a passion for humanity.

Was this new self awareness a gift or a curse?

I foresee no possibility of venturing into themes showing a closer view of reality for a long time to come. The public itself will not have it. What it wants is a gun and a girl.

Among the dragons, the prohibition against asking direct questions did not exist, and-as Harrier discovered immediately-dragons were even more outrageous gossips than sailors.

To live long it is necessary to live slowly.

At the rate science proceeds, rockets and missiles will one day seem like buffalo - slow, endangered grazers in the black pasture of outer space.

I felt I was owned by possessions.

It's the bringing together of knowledge and wisdom that is a great part - perhaps the greatest part - of our life's journey.

I would play with Guns n' Roses anytime.
