You do not become a star, you are born a star. A star is born with that indefinable extra something.

Nothing makes a woman more beautiful than the belief that she is beautiful.

I'd much rather eat pasta and drink wine than be a size 0.

You have to enjoy life. Always be surrounded by people that you like, people who have a nice conversation. There are so many positive things to think about.

Trust your imagination. There is always something in the box.
