Isabella Rossellini Quotes

I would like to be forgotten. What’s so good about being remembered? Picture Quote #1

I loved my career as a model, and that evolved into being an actress Picture Quote #1

When I grew up, we always had our chickens, and we ate our eggs, and we ate our chickens. The family always had a pig, and we would kill it at Christmas and eat it for three or four months afterwards Picture Quote #1

If you look at most beauty advertisements, you would think that makeup is only for beautiful women in their early twenties Picture Quote #1

Women who stay true to themselves are always more interesting and beautiful to me: women like Frida Kahlo, Georgia O’Keeffe and Anna Magnani - women who have style, chic, allure and elegance. They didn’t submit to any standard of beauty - they defined it Picture Quote #1

You don’t do an experimental film to become rich, so the people who are involved are involved because they enjoy the creative aspect of it Picture Quote #1

Once I realised that my job as a model was to emote in front of the camera, I thought, ‘Well now, I just have to add words, and I can do films.’ But also, my success as a model made me more confident about becoming an actress because, just in case I failed, I thought, ‘Well, you know, if I failed as an actress, I can do another job.’ Picture Quote #1

There are consequences with age, so you have to evolve. I’ve loved becoming a filmmaker. But I would love to continue modeling, and there isn’t really any job for me. It’s being marginalized - that’s the sad part Picture Quote #1

I became an actress way into my 30s because I thought that I had to find my own way, and that’s why I worked so much in modelling, until I realised that the differences between acting and modelling weren’t that great. I always say that modelling is a little bit like being a silent actress Picture Quote #1

I’ve had a lot of ‘aha’ moments, but the big ‘aha’ about growing older is the mental freedom Picture Quote #1

I live in the country. I’m a bird-watcher, an oyster-raiser. You know, I’ll do anything that - raise dogs for the blind as a volunteer Picture Quote #1

I was born with a love of animals, the same way I was born with brown hair. When I was a little girl in Rome, I always had pets, which I adored Picture Quote #1

The red carpet has become like a parallel business. The next day, there are TV programmes, and magazines, and it’s all, ‘Do you like the dress or not like the dress?’ and ‘Did she look fat?’ To keep borrowing dresses and jewellery is like a full-time job. And you have to be a fantasy, which you can never be, so you always feel depressed Picture Quote #1

I don’t wear much makeup, except during work. I felt lucky to be chosen to be a model. I used to joke, ‘The next best thing to winning the lottery is having a beauty contract.’ Picture Quote #1

I always have parmigiano-reggiano, olive oil and pasta at home. When people get sick, they want chicken soup; I want spaghetti with parmesan cheese, olive oil and a bit of lemon zest. It makes me feel better every time Picture Quote #1

Most people divorce because one in the couple falls in love with someone else: it’s a common cause of divorce. I still think that it’s tinted - this is my opinion - with a veil of racism and American puritanism Picture Quote #1

Animation translates well to a small screen. When you look at Walt Disney or Chuck Jones - you know, Bugs Bunny - there really isn’t any difference if you watch on a very big screen or a computer screen Picture Quote #1

I graduated from Academy of Fashion and Costume Design in Rome. At first, I thought I was going to be a costume designer for films, and then I ended up working in fashion - not as a designer, but mostly as a model Picture Quote #1

I grew up in Italy, and our country is a country of great agriculture and food produce. It wasn’t like I was urban and only knew about high-heeled shoes and purses and never knew where my eggs came from Picture Quote #1

I always say that in my career as an actress, I’ve always worked with people like David Lynch or Guy Maddin or Peter Weir who are considered not mainstream directors and that could be because they are like my dad. They are pioneers, and pioneers, by definition, invent something new Picture Quote #1

That is the great pleasure of working with great directors. You get to look at the world through many different prisms. I guess I love talent, whatever form it takes Picture Quote #1

In interviews, the first question I get in America is always: ‘What do you do to stay young?’ I do nothing. I don’t think aging is a problem. What irritates me a little is growing fatter. It irritates me that if I eat what I want to eat, it shows Picture Quote #1

I would love to be a field biologist. I would love to do what Jane Goodall did, just totally immerse myself in the life of one specific species for years and study every aspect of its behavior until little by little, all of these patterns become clear. That would be great, but I don’t know if I have it left in me Picture Quote #1

I’d love to meet Darwin. He caused such controversy over whether God created the earth in six days or whether we evolved over time. I’d love to discuss that with him - what a fantastic conversation! Picture Quote #1

Before Darwin, our world was very religious. People saw altruism as something given by God for us to be good so that we could go to Paradise Picture Quote #1

Market research shows that older women like seeing older women in ads, and that younger women do, too - because they see them and are not frightened of growing older Picture Quote #1

If you see a person who’s insecure and covers it up, it can be quite a problem. But the person who is insecure and shows you is quite appealing. They give you just the courage to drop your defenses Picture Quote #1

I am now at an age when they wanted me to play her mother Picture Quote #1

There is this idea that you have to play heroines or women who succeed Picture Quote #1

But I don’t really see myself as a role model. I’m not a dictator, or someone who wants to be adored! Picture Quote #1
