After you're older, two things are possibly more important than any others: health and money.
Love doesn't drop on you unexpectedly; you have to give off signals, sort of like an amateur radio operator.
People's lives change. To keep all your old friends is like keeping all your old clothes -- pretty soon your closet is so jammed and everything so crushed you can't find anything to wear. Help these friends when they need you; bless the years and happy times when you meant a lot to each other, but try not to have the guilts if new people mean more to you now.
You can have your titular recognition. I'll take the money and the power.
The prerequisite for making love is to like someone enormously.
You know you can't hope yourself a better life - you must take yourself there.
Two warm bodies and one cold bottle of champagne will produce something more wonderful than would happen without the champagne.
My own philosophy is if you're not having sex, you're finished. It separates the girls from the old people.
Don't do small stuff early in your energy cycle or you'll blow your 'golden hours,' but occasionally you have to do the 'possible' to develop the momentum for the killer task.
some bosses are so greedy (for themselves only) they forget underlings are not thirteenth-century peasants who can be satisfied with a glass of mead and three festivals a year.
Trying to describe a good marriage is like trying to describe your adrenal glands. You know they're in there functioning but you don't really understand how they work.
Talkers expand like bread dough.
Now it's somewhat easier for a woman to be a film producer or something like that if she wants, though it's not that easy. But to be any kind of successful woman took a lot of doing in the '30s, '40s, '50s, '60s... in the '70s it's getting simpler.
People never get tired of looking at beautiful pictures of gorgeous girls.
I guess I'm a survivor. There are many of us survivors and any successful woman of my age has somewhat of that in her.
When you meet a man, don't you always idly wonder what he'd be like in bed? I do.
you want to write a book for so many reasons ... The main reason ... is because it will make you well-known and beloved and popular and successful and famous and respected. You also write ... to make money, but that motivation is not first on the list.
If you're a little mouseburger, come with me. I was a mouseburger and I will help you. You're so much more wonderful than you think. Cosmopolitan is shot full of this stuff although outsiders don't realize it. It is, in its way, an inspiration magazine.
A man likes to sleep with a brainy girl. She’s a challenge. If he makes good with her, he figures he must be good himself.
Every morning when I'm thrashing around on the floor doing my solid hour of heavy exercises I'm not really doing that for anyone but myself. It makes me feel good.
I guess anyone with a beautiful body, man or woman, loves to be looked at, but to admit such a thing is a little rough at times. That's why it's hard to get people to pose.
Being somebody is better than not being somebody vis à vis what you want out of life. If you want to talk to interesting people and have them talk to you, and if you want enough money to live someplace pleasant and to go on trips and be able to help people you love, you simply have to be somebody.
Never throw anything good away -- real wool, pure silk. Put it away and wait for it to come back.
Sometimes I wonder if I'm doing everyone a disservice by perpetuating the idea that beautiful is better than plain, because having done everything just about that you can do, sparing no expense, and not effort, to become better looking, I know that only so much can be done.
One of the paramount reasons for staying attractive is so you can have somebody to go to bed with.
