There is a fountain of youth: it is your mind, your talents,
the creativity you bring to your life and the lives of the people
you love. When you learn to tap this source, you will have truly
defeated age.

If you are a professional actor who has pride in his work,
then the judgment of your peers should be important to you.
I treasure each and every award I have ever received-and my
Oscar is in a place of honor.

A mother always has to think twice, once for herself and once
for her child.

A woman's dress should be like a barbed-wire fence: serving
its purpose without obstructing the view.

Though poor and anxious to work, I refused to alter anything.
They would take me as I looked or not at all
. Eventually
I profited by looking like myself and not like what was fashionable

I was not interested in what I could bring to myself by being
an actress, but in what I could bring out of myself.

romantic figures of my Pozzuoli dreams, in an English-speaking,
multi-million dollar spectacle film.

Once I put myself into a thing, I do my utmost, my very, very
best.
Sophia Loren |
I was blessed with a sense of my own destiny. I have never
sold myself short. I have never judged myself by other people's
standards. I have always expected a great deal of myself, and
if I fail, I fail myself.
