A mother has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child.
Sophia Loren

Be honest about what you can get. To make a sacrifice and to get what you want you need to be very certain. In other words: always think about your objective, have a clear goal and commit to it from the heart.
Sophia Loren

Sophia Loren
Image
Is my mother my friend? I would have to say, first of all she is my Mother, with a capital 'M' she's something sacred to me. I love her dearly...yes, she is also a good friend, someone I can talk openly with if I want to.

You have to be born a sex symbol. You don't become one. If you're born with it, you'll have it even when you're 100 years old.
Sophia Loren
Image
I do not know if I really am a big star. And in fact that is not the most important thing for me. What counts in life is to bring about more of your own dreams. In such a way that your life becomes like a fairy tale. This is what has happened to me, it is just like that.
Sophia Loren
Image
I think what you have inside reflects very much in your face, in your expression. If you can find a kind of equilibrium in life, you never really get old, because you have that kind of ingenuity and innocence inside that gives you that brightness and that glint in your eye that generally, getting older, you lose.
Sophia Loren
Image
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.
Sophia Loren
Image
I am against all war.
Sophia Loren
Image
Isn't it wonderful to be alive? You know, you can forget all about it. Then suddenly you remember, and think of all the things you can do. Here I am. I can walk around. I can talk. I can see things and remember things. I am alive. How wonderful!

Show business is what I do, not what I am.

I've never tried to block out the memories of the past, even though some are painful. I don't understand people who hide from their past. Everything you live through helps to make you the person you are now.
Sophia Loren
