I never ever took my career seriously.

I dress for the image. Not for myself, not for the public, not for fashion, not for men.

Careful grooming may take twenty years off a woman's age, but you can't fool a flight of stairs.

Being in the depths of sadness is just as important an experience as being exuberantly happy.

It's the friends you can call up at 4 a.m. that matter.

Champagne makes you feel like it's Sunday and better days are just around the corner.

Glamour is assurance. It is a kind of knowing that you are all right in every way, mentally and physically and in appearance, and that, whatever the occasion or the situation, you are equal to it.

You can't live without illusions, even if you must fight for them.

Most women set out to try to change a man, and when they have changed him they do not like him.

To lose your prejudices you must travel.

In Europe, it doesn't matter if you're a man or a woman - we make love with anyone we find attractive.

Behind this smile in my faceLies the dark shadow of emptinessHiding from your eyes within my gazeConcealed with sham happiness.

You can't start with imbalance and end with peace, be that in your own body, in an ecosystem or between a government and its people. What we need to strive for is not perfection, but balance.

Too much philosophy makes men mad.

Sometimes, as I feel a door or an exit point in my work is closing, I'll try to create an opening so as not to stifle the creative process, which I see as a process that's never-ending.

I now see what the really important things in life are and they don't relate to what I do for a living.

Specifically, I would suggest that the effective organization is garrulous, clumsy, superstitious, hypocritical, monstrous, octopoid, wandering, and grouchy.

The program is already funded. Everything is in place.

Everything around me makes me miss you.

A lot of people do have tragic childhoods. But you know what? Get over it.

When you're alone and life is making you lonely, you can always go downtown.
