We are oceans apart. My mother had a very difficult life.

We're all works of art in progress.

I didn't marry to have children. I married to have a relationship, and I was blessed with one child. I was an only child, too - my mother was smarter than most women today; she just had me.

I'm a working woman of 80 trying to work out what the image I can project is. How I can do it with, you know, dignity.

My mother was harsh and constantly told me I had jug ears and heaven knows what else. But she was devoted and a hard worker.

As a model, I didn't have an identity; I was a chameleon, a silent actress. I was an amorphous thing. I wasn't full of personality, I was full of solitude and solemnity. I wasn't a cover-girl type.

I don't live for stuff and things, and if I had to live in a cardboard box, I would put curtains on it.

There’s always a boyfriend... Whatever else I have to give up on, I won’t give up on love.

My life has been amazing. How many other ladies of 76 can say that the snapshot on their senior citizen's card was taken by Norman Parkinson?

We were so poor that my mother would often leave me in a foster home until she could raise enough money to rent rooms for us.

The money I've earned has enabled me to keep my life in my own hands. I had a terrific body, and I got paid for using it.

We look to Scotland for all our ideas of civilisation.

Only amazing designers think of the truly new.

Nothing is more dangerous to men than a sudden change of fortune.

Never get married in the morning - you never know who you might meet that night.

We must not look at the past with the enormous condescension of posterity.

Allow yourself to experience fully every step of the journey, both the joy and the pain. You're alive. Greet the moment at hand with a grateful heart.

How much power is there in a thousand noisy engines? I tell you, there is more power in a single blade of grass.

Violence is the first means and the last resort to pacify a people, and thus is something we need to continue to consider after the gunfire has ended.

I don't want riders who work physically hard. Work by thinking.

It's disgusting. Why would people idolize someone who doesn’t do anything and saying you're a model/photographer with a digital camera and photoshop does not count as an artist.
