I regret only the poor choices in husbands, and even those I don't regret because they brought me my children.

People are unreasonable, illogical and self-centered. Love them anyway.

The world isn't getting any easier. With all these new inventions I believe that people are hurried more and pushed more...

I have often felt that I was born too soon or too late. My skills are not properly used in this time.

I don't fear death; I just don't want to be there when it happens.

A man can forgive a woman for almost anything except the intelligence he suspects she has used to outwit him.

I am not a thing. I am not a object. I am a human mind.

The most important thing in life is to stop saying 'I wish' and start saying 'I will'. Consider nothing impossible, then treat possibilities as probabilities.

I have never been able to understand women who throw themselves at men's heads. It is not only undignified, it is ineffective.

I have had many troubles in my life, most of which never happened.

Sex appeal is 50% what you've got and 50% what people think you've got.

I have always been interested in the mechanics of things, how they work, how they can be made to work better.

I don't recommend beauty unless, of course, you have nothing else. It opens doors, certainly, but then you have to produce.

The public has a right to know everything about a star except the truth.

I have never seen a completely happy or completely unhappy human being.

I was different, I suppose. I never looked at myself in the mirror. I saw no reason to. I knew what I looked like.

A woman's finest asset is her intuition.

I have been called the most beautiful woman in films, but that is a label, like a price tag. It tells you nothing about what is inside.

The only way to have a friend is to be one.
