A lot of women are frightened. Whenever I say that, I hear women gasp. I think they're frightened of someone thinking that they are past being desirable or worthy.
Anti-aging now is a huge science, and I don't know that it is available to every woman, so I wanted to share that.
As long as my body is in shape, my mind is working at its full capacity.

I arrived in California with no job, no car, and no money, but, like millions of other girls, a dream.
I became so consumed with trying to live up to what the public expected that I lost myself. I don't know of anyone else who can say this.
I believe that how you feel is very important to how you look - that healthy equals beautiful.
I come from an era where I had to do it by the seat of my pants.
I don't get as low as I used to because I recognize that I will come out of the lows. The best way to pull myself out of it is through enjoying each day.
I enjoy speaking to other women about turning 50, and how we can enjoy it, and how we can explore it.
I go to the best scientists. I have a vision. I've learned enough and been involved enough now in the creation of several lines to understand the language.
I got even with all the bad management I had by being a good manager.
I grew up thinking that whatever I wanted to do, I could do.
I have the ability to go very low, just as I have the ability to go very high.
I keep a very open mind. Gender is not part of the issue for me. It's who will give me what I need.
I think 42 was so bad for me, 50 was a breeze.
I think when I was younger I looked a little tense, because I was thin and I looked maybe a little finely tuned.
I try to treat people the way I would like to be treated, but I can't worry about what everyone's going to think.

I was very lucky. My parents raised me in such a way that it never occurred to me that I wasn't equal.
I went to a woman for advice about how to be in business, but I learned a great deal from men.
I went to find myself and save myself by being an agent.
I went to Sherry Lansing for advice on how to be a woman in the business.
I would go home and wear petticoats and play with dolls.
I'm about to become a member of the Chemists Society of America. I'm very proud of that.
I'm co-chair of Victory Over Violence in California, and I'm very, very dedicated to the environment. This planet means so much to me.
I'm generally competing with the ideal I have set for myself, and I've found that served me very well.
I'm having the opportunity to mentor younger women and nurture them and see them explore areas that weren't open to me.
I'm very disappointed, and I'm frightened for this planet. I hope this administration will wake up.
If wanted to play a sport, I played a sport. If I wanted to do things that many girls born in 1950 didn't do, I did it.
If you have a vagina, you would like someone treating you who has one, too.
If you try to do it just through cosmetic surgery, it's going to be a very joyless way to live.
If you're just good looking on the outside, that's very shallow. Eventually that will wear out.
Ignorance is not bliss, but in my case, that was.
In terms of women having more stress, I disagree. I think it's how we respond to it, that we're wired differently.
It is so easy to forget that this is good that we're alive. We should be enjoying this gift of being alive.
It used to be you wanted to marry up.
It's very hard for this administration to recognize what we need environmentally when it's being led by people who have not recognized the environment.

My girlfriends discussed the fact that we were stuck with this numbers game going on in our heads. When you turn a certain number, does that mean you're no longer as sexual to other people, or even to yourself?
No one can make me work harder than I do, so I'm generally not interested in who I am competing with.
Oprah is so bright, and her intelligence is so piercing that I don't think anyone who spends a few minutes with her isn't struck by that.
Our mothers taught that we were in competition with each other. You could have a girl friend, but don't be too close.
Our value is no longer on our ability to create children.
Part of the funds that we make from my catalog business, in fact, goes to Victory Over Violence.
Success doesn't mean that you are healthy, success doesn't mean that you're happy, success doesn't mean that you're rested. Success really doesn't mean that you look good, or feel good, or are good.
The fear factor didn't get in the way.
There are two things in life that I really wanted to do: be an actress, and to be in skin care, and I've gotten to do both of them.
There came a moment in my life when I realized that I had stepped into another part of my life. I used to walk into a room full of people and think, do they like me? And one day I walk in and I thought, do I like them?
There used to be a time when a women needed to be 13 years old in order to create children, in order to give a man the children he needed to continue his name and to continue his business and his family line.
This is where we live, and we want to take really good care of it.
Unless we keep this planet healthy, everything else is for naught.
Victory Over Violence is an organization that was created to help fund shelters for women and children.
We invest more of ourselves in everything that happens around us. It's not that men are unfeeling. We're just different.
Weight is very individual. Even though there may be guidelines provided by your doctor, I think where you feel the best is what's most important.

When women work together, it's a bond unlike any other.
When you create a dialogue, it's easy to agree. It's wonderful when women can share disagreement in a way that is bonding.
Women respond more to our parents. It's not that our husbands and our brothers don't. It's just that they respond differently.
You can't be responsible for the way people respond to you. You're only responsible for yourself.
