My life long inspiration

 

My look is attainable. Women can look like Audrey Hepburn by flipping out their hair, buying the large sunglasses, and the little sleeveless dresses.

Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, it's at the end of your arm. As you get older, remember you have another hand: the first is to help yourself, the second is to help others.

 For me, the only things of interest are those linked to the heart.

Success is like reaching an important birthday and finding you're exactly the same.

 I was born with an enormous need for affection, and a terrible need to give it.

I never thought I'd land in pictures with a face like mine.

Little videos of where nothing happened the subject just looked down the camera. That is when I met Edie Sedgwick.

"IT’S SORT OF LIKE A MOCKERY IN A WAY OF REALITY BECAUSE THEY THINK EVERYTHING IS SMILES AND SWEETNESS AND FLOWERS WHEN THERE IS SOMETHING BITTER TO TASTE. AND TO PRETEND THERE ISN’T IS FOOLISH. I MEAN THE ONES THAT WONDER AROUND AND KNOW, AT THE SAME TIME, AND YET WEAR FLOWERS, AND THEY DESERVE TO WEAR FLOWERS. AND THEY’VE EARNED THEIR SMILE…YOU CAN TELL BY PEOPLE’S EYES
