Sophia Loren quotes - page 2

Being beautiful can never hurt, but you have to have more. You have to sparkle, you have to be fun, you have to make your brain work if you have one. Being a Hollywood beauty was a mixed blessing. Men are men, with all that testosterone, and when a pretty girl comes in front of them what can you expect? The fact that I became one is probably the loveliest, most glamorous and fortunate misunderstanding. (Sophia Loren)
I'd much rather eat pasta and drink wine then be a size zero. View quote
Sophia Loren
I was born wise. Street-wise, people-wise, self-wise. This wisdom was my birthright. I was also born old. And illegitimate. But the two big advantages I had at birth were to have been born wise and to have been born in poverty. View quote
Sophia Loren
You have to believe in marriage and you have to believe in a relationship between two people. If you really think in your life that you have found the right person, you have to stick to it, even though there are ups and downs. If you really believe in your union, you have to nourish it and work for it, then you can really spend your life together forever. View quote
Sophia Loren
Isn't it wonderful to be alive? You know, you can forget all about it. Then suddenly you remember, and think of all the things you can do. Here I am. I can walk around. I can talk. I can see things and remember things. I am alive. How wonderful! View quote
Sophia Loren
Spaghetti can be eaten most successfully if you inhale it like a vacuum cleaner. View quote
Sophia Loren

Sophia Loren
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. View quote
Sophia Loren
I'm a giraffe. I even walk like a giraffe with a long neck and legs. It's a pretty dumb animal, mind you. View quote
Sophia Loren
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. View quote
Sophia Loren
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. (Sophia Loren)
The two big advantages I had at birth were to have been born wise and to have been born in poverty. View quote
Sophia Loren
Learn to use your brains as deftly as your powder box, and then maybe you have a powder box and do not need. View quote
Sophia Loren
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. View quote
Sophia Loren
It's a mistake to think that once you're done with school you need never learn anything new. View quote
Sophia Loren
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." View quote
Sophia Loren
I've never tried to block out the memories of the past, even though some are painful. View quote
Sophia Loren
Food makes people happy, it takes you back home, it says so many things that words can't say. View quote
Sophia Loren
Discipline is the great equalizer. If a young woman is beautiful but has no discipline, she will lose her looks as she grows older. If a plain woman is disciplined she will undoubtedly become more beautiful with time. View quote
Sophia Loren
I firmly believe we can make our own miracles if we believe strongly enough in ourselves and our mission on earth. View quote
Sophia Loren
I don't understand people who hide from their past. Everything you live through helps to make you the person you are now. (Sophia Loren)
I was blessed with a sense of my own destiny. I have never sold myself short. I have never judged myself by other people's standards. I have always expected a great deal of myself, and if I fail, I fail myself. View quote
Sophia Loren
When you are a mother, you are never really alone in your thoughts. You are connected to your child and to all those who touch your lives. A mother always has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child. View quote
Sophia Loren
You cannot say, because I am from Naples so I like the mixture of drama and comedy all together. View quote
Sophia Loren
I eat a lot of salad, a little meat, and some fruit. That's all. But I like sweets. View quote
Sophia Loren
