I have always tried to live my life with enthusiasm and pleasure.

The easiest way to convince my kids that they don't really need something is to get it for them.

I've never yet met a man who could look after me. I don't need a husband. What I need is a wife.

I'm older than my sister so I started writing first. I started writing at school. I was always top of my class in composition, essays, English Lit and all of that.

I think, Larry, one of the things is I'm a very active person.

I think health is another exceedingly important thing.

I really feel now like a native New Yorker. And I'm very happy here.

I have the absolute utmost respect for soap opera actors now. They work harder than any actor I know in any other medium. And they don't get very much approbation for it.

I have a lot of male friends.

I don't buy into you're on the slag heap when you're 40 or 50 or 60 or 70 or whatever.

Basically, though, I believe in eating well, not eating too much but eating a variety of foods.

And we have not found any generational gap at all. If he wants to go a football game, he goes. If I want to go to a fashion show, I go. We don't have to do everything together. But we like doing most things together.

And then I wrote my first autobiography when I - well, it was 23 years ago. And since then I've written about one book every two years.

And I think of that again as I've written in several of my beauty books, a lot of health comes from the proper eating habits, which are something that - you know, I come from a generation that wasn't - didn't have a lot of food.

Loneliness is the universal problem of rich people.

I do all my own make-up, it takes me 10 minutes.

Dynasty was the opportunity to take charge of my career rather than waiting around like a library book waiting to be loaned out.

One of the rules about being an actor or an actress is that you never diss other actors or actresses, particularly when you don't know them.

I have never been the mousy, stand-two-paces-behind, obedient 'little woman' type.

The secret of having a personal life is not answering too many questions about it.

Of course it's true: the public want to see young people - young people are the people who go to the cinema. It's a sad fact of life, but you've got to accept it and not whine about it.

I've said no to 'Celebrity Big Brother,' 'Strictly,' and the American one, 'Dancing With The Stars.' I don't feel it's right for me. I've been asked to do reality TV a zillion times. No way. No way. Nobody's going to get into my living room and see me there.

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 used to go over to Gene Kelly's house and play volleyball, and Paul Newman and Marlon Brando were always there. You kind of took it for granted because I was 20, 21, 22, and they were a bit older - well, Gene certainly was. But it was just part of daily living. They were in the same profession, and you didn't think that much about it.
