Thank God we're not like America. Everyone wants to look like they're 20. In Europe we admire grown-up women; I think men revere older women.

Sometimes sushi is just superb, and other times there's nothing like a great big steak. It depends where your taste buds are at the time.

I consulted a Chinese herbalist and spent two weeks on an island off the coast of Zanzibar. I was away from any kind of contemporary technology.

When I was starting out, young actresses had the studio system to protect them. Now you have a host of sharks, from your agent to your publicist to your lawyer.

Roman's wife Sharon Tate had been murdered by Charles Manson the year before, but Roman had been through so much leaving the Warsaw ghetto that he was very strong and private.

I can tell you that God is alive because I talked to him this morning.

It is mere rubbish thinking, at present, of origin of life; one might as well think of origin of matter.

My sisters and I were encouraged to choose the direction of our lives.

For me, running is a lifestyle and an art. I'm more interested in the magic of it than the mechanics.

Tis in ourselves that we are thus, or thus.
