As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.

If I'm honest I have to tell you I still read fairy-tales and I like them best of all.

True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul.

On the one hand maybe I’ve remained infantile, while on the other I matured quickly, because at a young age I was very aware of suffering and fear.

This is what you do on your very first day in Paris.

Happy girls are the prettiest girls.

To pull off any look, wear it with confidence.
