Zitat des Tages von Marie Helvin:
I love to lounge, and I particularly love to eat outdoors. It's a throwback to my childhood in Hawaii. I have memories of coming out of the sea and eating corn chips with a strawberry vanilla slush.
People were endlessly trying to set me up with 'eligible' men, and I enjoyed going on a galaxy of dates.
My fashion icons are Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly and Ava Gardner. Their classic looks and clean lines should be the cornerstones of your wardrobe - white cotton shirts, black Capri pants, pencil skirts and ballerina skirts.
Myself and my two younger sisters and brother were paid for any chores, whether it was washing pop's car, sweeping the lawn or picking mangoes.
I can't stand small babies. I would rather give birth to a kitten or a colt... a little pony.
When you've been touched by sadness and grief, it makes you vulnerable. And because I am vulnerable, I try to be positive. And when I say 'try,' I really do mean try, because it's an effort.
I haven't eaten meat since I was 17, so I take Vitamin C, a B complex, Omegas-3-6-9, glucosamine, and antioxidants to make sure my body stays healthy.
I wouldn't mind being in a relationship, but there's no reason to marry.
I have nothing against cosmetic procedures, but I don't want my face lasered. Also, people are naive about how much you can do with make-up and lighting, and I've learned from the best.
My marriage to David Bailey ended one morning in 1983, while he was away on a photo-shoot.
We don't do funerals in my family.
I've never met a size zero person. Is Paris Hilton a size zero? I've met her. She looked very thin, but she looked very healthy. She had beautiful skin.
I'm slim for professional reasons, and I work at it. I really want to continue working. There aren't that many models who are still doing it at 60.
I was brought up by parents who embraced the 1960s and taught me that being faithful isn't the be-all and end-all.
My livelihood depends on my surface beauty, but when I wash my face, I see a real person there.
A lot of women lose definition around their waist as they get older, which can mean their bottom half can look shapeless.
If I'm not in work, I don't wear any make-up.
For most of us, no matter how slim, middle-aged spread really does set in, and your waist thickens, irrespective of whether you've had children or if you exercise regularly.
I'm 56 - I don't want to look like I'm 20.
If you believe, as I do believe, in reincarnation, they say that every time you come back, it's because you have to finish something. I've a funny feeling that my thing in this life is to have one relationship after another.
I don't do a lot of looking back; I tend to look ahead.
When you're a model, you learn how to make the most of your assets - in my case, the smallish behind that is the legacy of my half-Japanese heritage.
When you get older, your skin tone changes; your hair probably changes colour, whether you dye it or not, and you just can't wear the colours you used to like anymore.
I like living on my own. I'm happy for a man to come over. I'll cook for him; he can spend the night occasionally, but then I want him to leave. I'm too independent.
Surgery is not going to improve your skin - all it's going to do is make you look tighter, like Joan Rivers!
For me, my 50s was the decade when my tolerance for heels faded. I'm in good shape and, at 8 st. 3 lb., I'm still the same weight I was in my 30s, but as you get older, the weight of your body shifts somehow.
I had a very spoilt childhood. Not that my family were incredibly wealthy, but we lived on the beautiful island of Hawaii where everything was lush and in abundance.
I am thrilled to be modelling the debut collection of Always Aliza. Janet Reger was such an iconic brand throughout my modelling career, and it feels great to now be modelling her daughter's range for JD Williams almost forty years on.
To be honest, the reason I have my cats is to force myself to think about something other than myself.
My favourite scent... changes every day. I have a cupboard full - so many I can't begin to tell you.
A secret control slip is a wonderful invention. It sculpts and lifts the bum and smooths the hips.
I like naughty boys. I was married to David Bailey, who was one of the naughtiest. I like real men, and I like masculinity.
When I see images of a girl who is obviously far too thin, I am just as shocked as anyone else.
I'm well trained. The only reason I am this slim is that I have to fit into the clothes. The samples are size 8, and I am naturally a size 10 to 12. I have been on a diet for my entire life.
I'm spoilt. I like my own space. I don't even own a microwave, and men don't like that. They want to be looked after.
My life has been charmed in the sense that I've met some extraordinary people. But at the end of the day, when you go home and you go to bed, and if you're on your own, you never think of yourself in that way. I'm sure not even people like Angelina Jolie think like that.
