Sobre a idade

«I'm 51 and I think I look my age, but I don't want to be 20 any more or even 30 or 40. Besides, I'm too terrified to get any proper work so I've had just little things done. I have a big crease between my eyebrows and I use Botox to get rid of that, but that's kind of it. I'm scared of surgery because I don't want to look in the mirror and not recognise who's looking back. I don't want to be in a room, and to have people turn when I leave and say, "what happened?"»

«I am no size zero or super-thin Hollywood actress. I am built for men who like women to look like women.»

«I tend to look somewhere other than the media for my definition of what is beautiful. Is that a heavily retouched 18-year-old or a 40-year-old on that front cover? I don't think so; nobody looks like that. I look at people such as Helen Mirren or Judi Dench, these amazing women who look great, but they look like their age, and I think why would anyone want to lower themselves to look like an alien? Sex appeal is all about confidence, and that comes from self-knowledge.»

Palavras de Kim Cattrall, a adorável e inesquecível Samantha de SATC. Nascida em Liverpool, a avó foi baby-sitter de Ringo Starr (mundo pequenino, hem?). Gosto do bom senso desta Senhora.

  3. Maria Manuela,
    É recíproco, bem sabes :)

    Kuska,
    Aí uns 44, talvez...

    Quanto à música... qual delas? A de Dylan, na voz de Joan Baez? A dos Alphaville?
    Adoro ambas, claro. Mas a de Dylan... que letra!

    «May God bless and keep you always,
    May your wishes all come true,
    May you always do for others
    And let others do for you.
    May you build a ladder to the stars
    And climb on every rung,
    May you stay forever young,
    Forever young, forever young,
    May you stay forever young.

    May you grow up to be righteous,
    May you grow up to be true,
    May you always know the truth
    And see the lights surrounding you.
    May you always be courageous,
    Stand upright and be strong,
    May you stay forever young,
    Forever young, forever young,
    May you stay forever young.

    May your hands always be busy,
    May your feet always be swift,
    May you have a strong foundation
    When the winds of changes shift.
    May your heart always be joyful,
    May your song always be sung,
    May you stay forever young,
    Forever young, forever young,
    May you stay forever young.

  5. Teresa,

    musiquinha Forever Young só pode ser a dos Alphaville :0)

    Forever Young de Dylan, na voz de Baez, é quase um hino..

    cada uma no seu momento!
