More quotes by Gloria Vanderbilt
I've been really very fortunate with the men I've been involved with. They've always really treated me very, very wonderfully. And whenever anything broke up, I was always the one to leave. So I think I've been really very, very lucky.
Gloria Vanderbilt
The only thing that would ever embarrass me would be something I would write that would be badly written.
Gloria Vanderbilt
I do spend money. I like to spend money, on houses - on furnishing houses. And I love to give presents to people. It's just in my nature to be that way. I always spent money I had. And I always spent what I made. I'm not stingy.
Gloria Vanderbilt
If you've never had a mother or a father, you grow up seeking something you're never going to find, ever. You seek it in love and in people and in beauty.
Gloria Vanderbilt
I'm always in love. If it's not with a man, it's something else. I love beauty. I love the sky I see outside the window. There's so much beauty in the world.
Gloria Vanderbilt
Everything in life is elusive.
Gloria Vanderbilt
Some of us are born with a sense of loss. It is not acquired as we grow. It is already there from the beginning, and it pervades us throughout our lives.
Gloria Vanderbilt
I don't read anything about myself. As a child, there was something in me that was just instinctive. I want to be clear in my spirit, and I don't want to be blocked by things that get inside of you and kill you.
Gloria Vanderbilt
I've resolved so many things in my life. I like the idea of showing that you can go through a lot and still be on your feet, still be working, and still be positive about life.
Gloria Vanderbilt
I love to think that animals and humans and plants and fishes and trees and stars and the moon are all connected.
Gloria Vanderbilt
The minute that you bring a unicorn into a story, you know that it's a fairy tale or a fable, because unicorns don't exist as animals. They exist as fantasy creatures.
Gloria Vanderbilt
When I'm traveling to promote my book, I feel like an artful impostor. What I really am is when I'm in my (painter's) studio and when I'm writing. With actors, it's the same thing. They're kind of artful impostors in public. When you get to know them, they're different people.
Gloria Vanderbilt
Art brings a message into a room. It should make us perceive in a new way - either through color, form or narrative content - something we had not perceived before... and perhaps reveal something to you about yourself.
Gloria Vanderbilt
I was born during an eclipse. I believe very much in astrology. If you were born on an eclipse it indicates your destiny is chaotic.
Gloria Vanderbilt
I do take very good care of myself, and I'm always in love. And by that I mean I have an appetite for life. I'm in love with beauty and things and people and love and being in love, and those things I think, on the inside, show on the outside.
Gloria Vanderbilt
I do think all art is autobiographical, and I do think I know quite a bit about women. I don't know anything about men.
Gloria Vanderbilt
You must always have great, secret, big fat hopes for yourself in love and in life. The bigger, the better.
Gloria Vanderbilt
I'm the girliest girl you are ever going to meet.
Gloria Vanderbilt
To be happy--one must find one's bliss
Gloria Vanderbilt
When I was photographed, I didn't feel I was acting. I just felt I was being photographed. It sort of taught me things about myself that I didn't know and was trying to find out.
