Carmen DellOrefice Quotes

I’ve grown up in the lap of the world Picture Quote #1

I hate a man who looks dirty Picture Quote #1

We are oceans apart. My mother had a very difficult life Picture Quote #1

I have had more magazine covers in the last 25 years than I have had in my whole elongated career. Today I am in a territory that business considers unmarketable: age and white hair. Slowly, however, I started to own that territory little by little because I stood up for age Picture Quote #1

I was the Kate Moss of my day, atypical of what the public wanted, which was Brigitte Bardot. I was always tall, skinny and angular. But now, society has bought 55 years of my marketing ‘Carmen,’ and I’m considered beautiful. I hope that empowers older women Picture Quote #1

People shouldn’t look at me and think life is one big piece of glamour. That’s the marketing, the spin. Life is challenging. But I have courage, strength, and enough good health to see the positive Picture Quote #1

You know, Italian-Hungarian - no matter how linear and cool I look on the outside, I have all that energy trying to find its way through life Picture Quote #1

I exercise every day. I don’t get up and have a cup of coffee anymore, I get up and move to get blood to my brain Picture Quote #1

I understood that synergistic dance between photographer and object - ‘muse,’ if you will, ‘model,’ whatever you call us. It’s that silent language of communication, like being psychic with each other Picture Quote #1

My dream was to become a ballet dancer, but after a year in bed with rheumatic fever at 13, I had grown too tall, and had no muscle tone left. I tried a ballet class and couldn’t even do a plie without falling over. It was my first death Picture Quote #1

We have to program the mind of the public that age is not ugly. Age is just age. Wake up, American children, and stop listening to other people’s voices. Know yourself, be true to yourself and make a contribution. It took me half my life to know myself. I listened to other people’s opinions and took them as gospel Picture Quote #1

I think America may be growing up and accepting the fact that the bulk of life exists beyond 50. Because demographically... the vast population is over 50 Picture Quote #1

Fashion is more about taste than money - you have to understand your body and tailor clothes to your needs; it’s all about the fit. I do the alterations myself - I’m quite a seamstress - it’s the influence of my Hungarian mother Picture Quote #1

I’m loath to do interviews. What comes out is generally not what I meant or thought I was saying or thought they were asking Picture Quote #1

I’m a working woman of 80 trying to work out what the image I can project is. How I can do it with, you know, dignity Picture Quote #1

If your ceiling is falling down, don’t you call someone in? I apply the same principle to myself Picture Quote #1

As a model, I didn’t have an identity; I was a chameleon, a silent actress. I was an amorphous thing. I wasn’t full of personality, I was full of solitude and solemnity. I wasn’t a cover-girl type Picture Quote #1

I didn’t marry to have children. I married to have a relationship, and I was blessed with one child. I was an only child, too - my mother was smarter than most women today; she just had me Picture Quote #1

The money I’ve earned has enabled me to keep my life in my own hands. I had a terrific body, and I got paid for using it Picture Quote #1

My mother was harsh and constantly told me I had jug ears and heaven knows what else. But she was devoted and a hard worker Picture Quote #1

There’s always a boyfriend. Whatever else I have to give up on, I won’t give up on love Picture Quote #1

My life has been amazing. How many other ladies of 76 can say that the snapshot on their senior citizen’s card was taken by Norman Parkinson? Picture Quote #1
