I listen to my body, I give it things it wants and I eliminate things it doesn't want.

The ideal man doesn't exist. A husband is easier to find.

I would make a poor vegetarian because I adore meat.

I was so beautiful but I didn't realise it for years. I saw pictures of myself and even I was stunned.

I'm very organised these days, and I keep my life in my handbag, like most women.

I am as far from a hypochondriac as you could ever be.

I met Peter Sellers when I was 21 and we got married ten days later. He was not right mentally, but I hung in there for four years before I left.

I spend hours mowing the lawn in absolutely straight lines on my tractor. If it's not right, I do it again.

I am good at down grading - I have found I can live the same lifestyle in a two-bedroom apartment as in a five-bedroom house.

I used to collect vintage clothing - exquisite lace dresses, embroidered shawls and ornate jewelry - but that's just not me any more.

I say I don't sleep with married men, but what I mean is that I don't sleep with happily married men.

The thing is, it's very dangerous to have a fixed idea. A person with a fixed idea will always find some way of convincing himself in the end that he is right

How I wished during those sleepless hours that I belonged to a different nation, or better still, to none at all.

When we can't dream any longer we die.

Quickness is the essence of the war.

It's nice to see something more pathetic than I feel right now.

There is nothing so wrong in this world that a sensible woman can't set it right in the course of an afternoon.

As early as when I was five or six I wanted to perform.

The invisible hand never picks up the check.

On your journey to your dream, be ready to face oasis and deserts. In both cases, don't stop

Who are the violets now That strew the lap of the new-come spring?
