Sophia Loren Quotes

 

•You have to be born a sex symbol. You don't become one. If you're born with it, you'll have it even when you're 100 years old.

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

• When you are a mother, you are never really alone in your thoughts. A mother always has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child.

• The two big advantages I had at birth were to have been born wise and to have been born in poverty.

• The facts of life are that a child who has seen war cannot be compared with a child who doesn't know what war is except from television.

• Sex is like washing your face - just something you do because you have to. Sex without love is absolutely ridiculous. Sex follows love, it never precedes it.

• Spaghetti can be eaten most successfully if you inhale it like a vacuum cleaner.

• Sex appeal is fifty percent what you've got and fifty percent what people think you've got.

• Mistakes are part of the dues one pays for a full life.

• No press conference announcing a last film. I'd just steal away. Best way because, if by chance after two or three years something interesting comes up, I would not - like Sinatra - have to say: "Well, I've thought it over and decided to come back."

• It's a mistake to think that once you're done with school you need never learn anything new.

• If you haven't cried, your eyes can't be beautiful.

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

• It is a great advantage for a system of philosophy to be substantially true.

• I've never tried to block out the memories of the past, even though some are painful. I don't understand people who hide from their past. Everything you live through helps to make you the person you are now.

• I was so skinny, they gave me the nickname stechetto - the stick. I was tall, thin, ugly and dark like an Arab girl. I looked strange. All eyes. No flesh on my bones.

• I'm a giraffe. I even walk like a giraffe with a long neck and legs. It's a pretty dumb animal, mind you.

• I think the quality of sexiness comes from within. It is something that is in you or it isn't and it really doesn't have much to do with breasts or thighs or the pout of your lips.

• I am against all war.

• I want everything - all of it.

• I can't bear being seen naked. I'm not exactly a tiny woman. When Sophia Loren is naked, this is a lot of nakedness.

• Getting ahead in a difficult profession requires avid faith in yourself. That is why some people with mediocre talent, but with great inner drive, go so much further than people with vastly superior talent.

• Beauty is how you feel inside, and it reflects in your eyes. It is not something physical.

• Everything you see I owe to spaghetti.

• The word "Action!" frees me - the transformation is something I cannot explain - too much analysis might destroy it”

• After all these years, I am still involved in the process of self-discovery. It's better to explore life and make mistakes than to play it safe. Mistakes are part of the dues one pays for a full life.

• She made it like a joke. She made it sound like it was really nothing and tomorrow it was going to pass.

• Timeless. Has she ever looked better?
