I was very, very underdeveloped for my age, I hated what I looked like, so I thought everyone had gone stark raving mad.

The sixties were a time when ordinary people could do extraordinary things . . . !

At sixteen, I was a funny, skinny little thing, all eyelashes and legs. And then, suddenly people told me it was gorgeous. I thought they had gone mad.

There's no need to dress like everyone else. It's much more fun to create your own look.

I've always loved life, and I've never known what's ahead. I love not knowing what might be round the corner. I love serendipity.

Confusion is the best form of communication. It's left to be unexplained.

I want to continue to try and break the barrier between male and female.

Always be natural. Putting on airs will make a giggle out of you. Be yourself and if you don't know something say so.

I used to be a thing; I'm a person now.

Being a grown-up woman doesn't mean you can't look beautiful, individual and different.

You can't be a clothes hanger for your entire life.

Why write? Life is a cage of empty words.

Live conscious of every moment and the wonder available in it.

I always said I never wanted to write about love, but then I went and did that anyway.

I had no advice, no counsel, no encouragement, no consolation, no assistance, no support, of any kind, from anyone, that I can call to mind, as I hope to go to heaven!

It really doesn't matter whether it's the villain or the hero. Sometimes the villain is the most colorful. But I prefer a part where you don't know what he is until the end.

I was always very independent and looked out for myself. I think that ability really helped me in later years both in sports and in theatre.

Mozart creates music from a mysterious center, and so knows the limits to the right and the left, above and below. He maintains moderation.

I'm not a horror fan. I'm an anti-horror fan. I think horror fans feel deep down in the pit of their souls, they feel safe, and therefore bored. And therefore they want to be scared.

We often don’t realize that the extraordinary is to be found in the lives of ordinary people.

I have the faith that even at my lowest points, there will come a silver lining through faith.
