My nerves could use a drink.

Getting angry doesn't solve anything.

For a woman, forty is torture, the end.

A woman needs ropes and ropes of pearls.

Anger and anger can not solve any problem.

This is one night I wish I smoked and drank.

Our life dictates a certain kind of wardrobe.

I never say 'never,' and I never say 'always.'

As an unmarried woman, I was thought to be a danger.

The pearl is the queen of gems and the gem of queens.

Women's natural role is to be a pillar of the family.

I don't want to dress up a picture with just my face.

I don`t want to dress up a picture with just my face.

Emancipation of women has made them lose their mystery.

I don't like yelling and fighting, and I can't quarrel.

I avoid looking back. I prefer good memories to regrets.

My husband is a good father, concerned about his children.

The idea of my life as a fairy tale is itself a fairy tale.

I loved acting. I didn’t particularly like being a movie star.

I was hired to be an actress, not a personality for the press.

If anybody starts using me as scenery, I'll return to New York.

Home is here in Philadelphia. I never like to be away too long.

Other women looked on me as a rival. And it pained me a great deal.

I work hard in social work, public relations, and raising the Grimaldi heirs.

I am basically a feminist. I think that women can do anything they decide to do.

The freedom of the press works in such a way that there is not much freedom from it.

A person has to keep something to herself or you're life is just a layout in a magazine.

I was constantly falling in love, and it never occurred to me that this was wrong or bad.

Hollywood amuses me. Holier-than-thou for the public and unholier-than-the-devil in reality

At times I think I actually hate Hollywood. I have many acquaintances there, but few friends.

I do isometrics in church so while I'm doing my soul some good, I'm doing my body some good, too.

Some day, I'm going to get married, and I'll want to tell my children I was in Africa on a safari.

Ingrid Bergman made an enormous impression on me. I couldn't imagine where that kind of acting talent came from.

I’ve always treated my children as beings in their own right. I respect their feelings and aspirations entirely.

I don't want to be married to someone who feels inferior to my success or because I make more money than he does.

I walk an hour almost every day - and very quickly - wherever I am. Sometimes I go on long, all-day hikes with friends.

The women here in Monaco don't like me, and so I have to watch everything I say and everything I do because they're so critical.

I never really liked Hollywood. I found it unreal - unreal and full of men and women whose lives were confused and full of pain.

What I've learned in the past 12 years of recording (I made my first CD at 12) is how important it is to find one's authentic voice.

It would be very sad if children had no memories before those of school. What they need most is the love and attention of their mother.

I've had happy moments in my life, but I don't think that happiness-- being happy-- is a perpetual state that anyone can be in. Life isn't that way.

If I'd met the prince two or three years earlier, perhaps I might not have married him - at least not so soon. But we came together at the right time.

When I married Prince Rainier, I married the man and not what he represented or what he was. I fell in love with him without giving a thought to anything else.

I'll be goddamned if I'm going to stay in a business where I have to get up earlier and earlier and it takes longer and longer for me to get in front of a camera.

Mr. Hitchcock taught me everything about cinema. It was thanks to him that I understood that murder scenes should be shot like love scenes and love scenes like murder scenes.

I get up at seven for the make-up, Rita Hayworth at six, Joan Crawford and Bette Davis at five. I don’t want to know the time when I’ll have to come to the studio even earlier.

I love walking in the woods, on the trails, along the beaches. I love being part of nature. I love walking alone. It is therapy. One needs to be alone, to recharge one's batteries.

Having a [teenage] daughter is like riding a young horse over an unknown steeplechase course. You don't know when to pull up the reins, when to let the horse have its head - or what.

I did enjoy and take pride in my work as an actress, yet I'm bemused by suppositions that my life since has somehow been less fulfilling. That certainly is not the case. Rather the reverse.

I certainly don't think of my life as a fairy tale. I think of myself as a modern, contemporary woman who has had to deal with all kinds of problems that many women today have to deal with.
