I don't go for films that exalt violence. I don't want them in my house. Sometimes my children see them. But nowadays they do it so truthfully and with so much passion that you are shocked.

Sophia Loren 155 quotes

I wake up very early every mo...

I wake up very early every morning and I have my coffee at 6:30. If it comes at 6:35, I'm very upset. I don't say anything but I'm upset because I'm so punctual in doing things, that if I lose five minutes I have to rush everything.

Without my mother's ambition,...

Without my mother's ambition, her drive, I doubt that on my own I would have pushed myself out of Pozzuoli and into the frightening world that was faraway Rome.

I still like me, inside and o...

I still like me, inside and out. Not in a vain way - I just feel good in my skin.

Sophia Loren 155 quotes

When I was a child, fear was common to my life - fear of having nothing to eat, fear of the other children taunting me at school because I was illegitimate, and particularly fear of the big bombers appearing overhead and dropping their lethal bursts from the sky.

Men always marry younger girl...

Men always marry younger girls, but sometimes when a women who's very mature marries a younger man, she's criticized. It needs to be corrected.

Any woman can look her best if she feels good in her skin. It's not a question of clothes or makeup. It's how she sparkles.

And as I walk round the park ...

And as I walk round the park I always think, 'Maybe round the corner I am going to find something beautiful.' I always think positively. It is very rare that you find me in a mood that is sad or melancholic.

Sophia Loren 155 quotes

The first woman was created f...

The first woman was created from the rib of a man. She was not made from his head to top him, nor from his feet to be trampled on by him, but out of his side to be equal to him.

You do not become a star, you...

You do not become a star, you are born a star. A star is born with that indefinable extra something.

Success, I would find out, is interior. It has to do with self-fulfillment and the joy of living.

My philosophy is that it's better to explore life and make mistakes than to play it safe and not to explore at all.

Sophia Loren 155 quotes

I have my own peculiar yardst...

I have my own peculiar yardstick for measuring a man: Does he have the courage to cry in a moment of grief? Does he have the compassion not to hunt an animal? In his relationship with a woman, is he gentle? Real manliness is nurtured in kindness and gentleness, which I associate with intelligence, comprehension, tolerance, justice, education, and high morality. If only men realized how easy it is to open a woman's heart with kindness, and how many women close their hearts to the assaults of the Don Juans.

Sophia Loren 155 quotes

You must all, somewhere deep ...

You must all, somewhere deep in your hearts, believe that you have a special beauty that is like no other and that is so valuable that you must not abandon it. Indeed, you must learn to cherish it.

Sophia Loren 155 quotes

Where youthful beauty is unconscious, mature beauty is knowing and sophisticated.

Sophia Loren 155 quotes

Getting ahead in a difficult ...

Getting ahead in a difficult profession - singing, acting, writing, whatever requires avid faith in yourself. You must be able to sustain yourself against staggering blows and unfair reversals. When I think back to those first couple of years in Rome, those endless rejections, without a glimmer of encouragement from anyone, all those failed screen tests, and yet I never let my desire slide away from me, my belief in myself and what I felt I could achieve.

Sophia Loren 155 quotes

I was blessed with a sense of...

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. So failure or reversal does not bring out resentment in me because I cannot blame others for any misfortune that befalls me.

Sophia Loren 155 quotes

I like to cook for my friends...

I like to cook for my friends. It is an act of love because in cooking you can create so many plates and recipes, if you know how to - otherwise you make a mess - but I like it because it's like a ceremony. You cook for your friends and after, you drink wine and play cards.

I eat a lot of salad, a little meat, and some fruit—that’s all. But I like sweets.

I was born wise. Street-wise, people-wise, self-wise. This wisdom was my birthright.
