No man has ever paid a single bill in my life - I didn't want it.

I'm not an outdoor girl. I can barely swim. I don't ride a horse.

I cook the food of Macau, my roots and soul food.

I am China, pronounced as Chee-na. And I think it's time the world lets older women age gracefully.

I'm practical. I see something, and I do it.

I do not really shop. Most of my clothes I make. I dress simply.

Originally a stylist took terrible dresses and did everything she could to make them wonderful. Now, you create an image. It's much more specialized.

I take off my makeup with Ponds cold cream, and then I wash myself with gentle soap and water, and that's it.

Age is not a taboo in the fashion industry. One should learn what to wear to look good at any age.

I wonder if it is harder for a woman who was beautiful to get older or a woman who was never looked at.

I make myself lie down every afternoon; otherwise I'll be too exhausted by the night-time. If I can't nap, I'll watch a little bit of TV and just relax for two or three hours.

The lives of all people flow through time, and, regardless of how brutal one moment may be, how filled with grief or pain or fear, time flows through all lives equally.

Don't quit. A wind from nowhere could turn it.

If Hitch were a person, he'd be Mother Theresa or Gandhi or someone who treated all living creatures with the respect they deserve. It's depressing how my dog is a better human being than I am.

Sadness and gladness succeed each other.

In the Negro melodies of America I find all that is needed for a great and noble school of music.

Marriage is not just spiritual communion and passionate embraces marriage is also three meals a day sharing the workload and remembering to carry out the trash.

I don't think I'll ever be comfortable with the idea of being famous.

I'm feeling a kind of liberty to write about what's interesting to me without worrying about what I should be writing about. And that feels good.

All creeds and opinions are nothing but the mere result of chance and temperament.

Government cannot make man richer, but it can make him poorer.
