I love to decorate and redecorate. Now it's called interior design, but the term decorating is fine with me.
Gloria Vanderbilt
The only thing that would ever embarrass me would be something I would write that would be badly written.
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
To be happy--one must find one's bliss
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.

Nobody should get married at 17.

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

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'll always remain friends with men I've been in love with. Each one gave me so much, in so many ways.
Gloria Vanderbilt
You breathe in and out you breathe in and you breathe out, and you live one moment into the next moment, and then time goes by, and you find you're able to put one foot in front of the other.
Gloria Vanderbilt
I'm the girliest girl you are ever going to meet.
Gloria Vanderbilt
When I was being photographed, I always felt very much in my own skin. That's probably one of the reasons why I enjoy being photographed.
Gloria Vanderbilt
And it came to me, and I knew what I had to have before my soul would rest. I wanted to belong - to belong to my mother. And in return - I wanted my mother to belong to me.
Gloria Vanderbilt
You must always have great, secret, big fat hopes for yourself in love and in life. The bigger, the better.
Gloria Vanderbilt
In mythology and palmistry, the left hand is called the dreamer because the ring finger on the left hand leads directly to the heart. I find it a very poetic idea. And thats why I only wear nail polish on my left ring finger.
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 fame you earn has a different taste from the fame that is forced upon you
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
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.
