Alter ist irrelevant, es sei denn, du bist eine Flasche Wein.
I never thought I was particularly good looking. But when I see old photographs, I realise that I was. I do wish I had known that at the time because beauty is power. I didn't realise how lucky I was to be young, beautiful and in Hollywood. It didn't hit me. Every day I woke up, went to the film studio and just got on with it.
Das Problem mit der Schönheit ist, dass man reich geboren wird und nach und nach verarmt.
My grandmother spoiled my father rotten, and he grew up expecting women to do whatever he wanted. When he married my beautiful mother, Elsa, he expected her to give up her career as a champion ballroom dancer and become a good wife and mother, which she dutifully did.
Was uns zu einem Mann hinzieht, bindet uns selten an ihn.
Dynasty was the opportunity to take charge of my career rather than waiting around like a library book waiting to be loaned out.
Ich habe stets versucht, aus meinem Leben mit vollem Einsatz das maximale Vergnügen herauszuholen.
We live in a quick-fix society where we need instant gratification for everything. Too fat? Get lipo-sucked. Stringy hair? Glue on extensions. Wrinkles and lines? Head to the beauty shop for a pot of the latest miracle skin stuff. It's all a beautiful £1 billion con foisted upon insecure women by canny cosmetic conglomerates.
The problem with beauty is that it's like being born rich and getting poorer.
If life throws you a lemon - make lemonade.
One of the main secrets to staying young is staying healthy. I've sometimes had to suppress a smile when some young lady, who has obviously not taken care of herself through diet or exercise, says admiringly, 'Ooh, I hope I look as good as you do when I'm your age!' Although it's intended to be complimentary, it's actually a back-hander.
Gone are the days when a gentleman lightly took your hand in his and brushed his lips across it, or tipped his hat to acknowledge you as he chivalrously stepped aside to let you pass.
I don't use e-mail; I phone and fax. I think people who are hunched over their computer screens all day should get a life.
When I finish dressing before a night out and have put on all the accessories, I usually look at myself in the mirror long and hard and then end up removing something. Whether it's a belt, bracelet or a bauble, less is always more.
It's no one's fault to be born ugly, but, honestly, must it be worn as a symbol of pride?
Every woman should wear make-up. It takes years off. I'm wearing lots of false eyelashes today, and to me, lipstick is the best cosmetic that exists.
The body is like a car: the older you become the more care you have to take care of it - and you don't leave a Ferrari out in the sun.
The sad truth is that most of my husbands turned out to be convincing liars.
Loneliness is the universal problem of rich people.
I mean, even my dressing room at the studio has candles and cushions and cashmere rugs and things.
You can't help getting older, but you can help yourself from becoming old and infirm, in mind as well as body.
I think bare legs in winter are idiotic. Unless your naked pins are toned, tanned and veinless, it's best to cover up. There is nothing more elegant in winter than dark tights worn with matching knee-length boots and a belted trench coat.
And I kissed a lot of frogs as well, but no, I kissed a lot of frogs and now I've found my prince.
I don't look my age, I don't feel my age and I don't act my age. To me age is just a number.
Having had five husbands, I guess I should know a thing or two about marriage.
The secret of having a personal life is not answering too many questions about it.
If you feel well and happy, your face will reflect this, but if you are down in the dumps and having a miserable time, your face will soon show this, too. In fact, you get the face you deserve by the time you're forty, and one of the keys to looking and feeling younger is being active.
I do all my own make-up, it takes me 10 minutes.
