You can only hope to get a combination of happy work and a happy life.
Look, whenever I hear or read I’m beautiful, I simply don’t understand it … I’m certainly not beautiful in any conventional way. I didn't make my career on beauty.
The 'Third World' is a term I don't like very much, because we're all one world. I want people to know that the largest part of humanity is suffering.
I've been lucky. Opportunities don't often come along. So, when they do, you have to grab them.
Never throw out anyone.
A child is a child in any country, whatever the politics. Let's get down to basics. That's what a child forces you to do. Nothing else much matters, there is no complicated diplomacy, when a child is starving. It's simple. And we'd better do something about it. For our sakes, too. That is, if we want to continue to call ourselves human.
Love does not terrify me. But the going away of it does. I have been made terribly aware of how everything can be wrenched away from you and your life torn apart. If I had known very secure nights all my life, if I had never seen or felt the fear of being tortured or deported or blown up into a million pieces, then I would not fear it.
My goal was not to have huge luxuries. As a child, I wanted a house with a garden, which I have today. This is what I dreamed of. I’d never worry about age if I knew I could go on being loved and having the possibility to love... So it isn’t age or even death that one fears, as much as loneliness and the lack of affection.
My greatest ambition is to have a career without becoming a career woman.
For my whole life, my favorite activity was reading. It's not the most social pastime.
Have we forgotten about the children, and thus forsaken the next generation?
I believe in miracles.
As a child, I was taught that it was bad manners to bring attention to yourself, and to never, ever make a spectacle of yourself ... All of which I've earned a living doing.
I decided, very early on, just to accept life unconditionally; I never expected it to do anything special for me, yet I seemed to accomplish far more than I had ever hoped. Most of the time it just happened to me without my ever seeking it.
Success is like reaching an important birthday and finding you're exactly the same.
There are certain shades of limelight that can wreck a girl's complexion.
People associate me with a time when movies were pleasant, when women wore pretty dresses in films and you heard beautiful music. I always love it when people write me and and say 'I was having a rotten time, and I walked into a cinema and saw one of your movies, and it made such a difference.'
Taking care of children has nothing to do with politics. I think perhaps with time, instead of there being a politicisation of humanitarian aid, there will be a humanisation of politics.
I think sex is overrated. I don't have sex appeal and I know it. As a matter of fact, I think I'm rather funny looking. My teeth are funny, for one thing, and I have none of the attributes usually required for a movie queen, including the shapeliness.
Whatever a man might do, whatever misery or heartache your children might give you - and they give you a lot - however much your parents irritate you - it doesn't matter because you love them.
The more there is, the less I want. The more man flies to the moon, the more I want to look at a tree.
I have no illusions about my looks. I think my face is funny.
It always boils down to the same thing - not only receiving love, but desperately needing to give it.
I believe in kissing, kissing a lot.
Take care of the small circle around you. When you have succeeded with them, then move outwards, one small step at a time.
