Age is just a number. It's totally irrelevant unless, of course, you happen to be a bottle of wine.

The problem with beauty is that it's like being born rich and getting poorer.

Show me a person who has never made a mistake and I'll show you somebody who has never achieved much.

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.

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.

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.

If life throws you a lemon - make lemonade.

It's no one's fault to be born ugly, but, honestly, must it be worn as a symbol of pride?

I'm a fiend for costume jewellery and have countless pairs of rhinestone or diamante earrings, which are so flattering when they catch the light. I love the designers Alexis Bittar and Kenneth Jay Lane, and I always go to jewellers Butler & Wilson.
