"To people whove been looked at and considered beautiful, particularly women who relied on it so much... age is quite a challenge. The thing which youve always used, a power, is taken away from you."

"To people whove been looked at and considered beautiful, particularly women who relied on it so much... age is quite a challenge. The thing which youve always used, a power, is taken away from you."
"All women are aware of that moment when suddenly the boys dont look at you. Its a fairly common thing, when suddenly you no longer attract that instant male attention because of the way you look. I never really knew how to enjoy beauty, but it took the form of a subconscious arrogance, expecting things, all muddled up with celebrity."
"In the 1970s I was amazed to be talked about as a 60s sex symbol. I wasnt that person, as if I were a doll from the past. I had to learn to come to terms with that. Its funny, its silly, the ridiculousness of having asked so much of celebrity. Then it becomes really interesting and very much part of the excitement of the life you’re living now, knowing you’re approaching the end of it."
