I truly believe that one of the reasons why I look and feel so well is because I've very few inhibitions. I don't care about age. Life is too short to worry about what other people think.

Sometimes I think I made a big mistake by not paying more attention to Prince Axel. He was looking for a wife and genuinely cared for me. Well, he had the hots for me is more like it. I would have made a great princess.

It isn't so bad getting old. It really isn't. As long as I can stay healthy.

I met Chanel in the 1960s when I was working over in Europe. She sent me clothes all the time because I was only, like, 110.

It's such a shame that you were put in a category of a dumb blonde, but that's what they did in the '50s. You fought the system, but you didn't win.
