More quotes by Gloria Vanderbilt
Everything in life is elusive.
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
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
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
The fame you earn has a different taste from the fame that is forced upon you
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
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
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.
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
There's a saying I read recently I painted it on the fireplace and in my studio: Be kind to everyone you meet, for everyone is fighting a great battle. We all are. Everyone.
Gloria Vanderbilt
I was fearless. Wild horses couldn't stop me.
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 love to decorate and redecorate. Now it's called interior design, but the term decorating is fine with me.
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
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'll always remain friends with men I've been in love with. Each one gave me so much, in so many ways.
Gloria Vanderbilt
The only thing that would ever embarrass me would be something I would write that would be badly written.
Gloria Vanderbilt
One of the goals of life is to try and be in touch with one's most personal themes-the values, the ideas, styles, colors that are the touchstones of one's own individual life, its real texture and substance.
