When it comes to Hollywood actresses or world famous movie stars, the first one that always comes to my mind is Sharon Stone. Decades have passed since her appearance in the legendary Basic Instinct, where she plays a strong role, shows sharp attitude and positions herself as a sex symbol of the era to come. Still, over the years Sharon has kept her beauty and recognizable style, remaining fit, elegant and sexy. It’s like the regular aging principles don’t apply to her. Today I’ve decided to pick her best quotes about motivation, style and life itself.
1. “I don’t believe makeup and the right hairstyle alone can make a woman beautiful. The most radiant woman in the room is the one full of life and experience.”
2. “Real happiness comes from inside. Nobody can give it to you.”
3. “I am ready for love but I’m not desperately seeking it.”
4. “Sex is so much more in the mind than in the body.”
5. “It’s my experience that you really can’t lose when you try the truth.”
6. “Peace does exist. It exists in your heart and soul.”
7. “A lot of people think that fame is the Band-Aid that cures their ills. I’m no kid, and I knew long before I got famous that wasn’t the deal. I’m the court jester, not the queen.”
8. “There’s a value to getting the meal on the table every night, and there’s a value to being an old-school kind of parent.”
9. “I don’t take myself very seriously. I like to make people laugh. You know, it’s like, if a woman can’t be happy for another woman’s work, they have to go work on that.”
10. “I failed at the biggest things there are in life. I failed in my health, I failed in my marriage, I failed in everything, and I’ve picked myself up and gone on.”
11. “People are afraid of changing; that they’re losing something. They don’t understand that they are also gaining something.”
12. “Watching children grow up, you learn a lot about life and about being a better person – you learn a lot about what’s really important in the world and what isn’t.”
13. “To really achieve any level of greatness, you have to be willing to say yes no matter who says no, and to say no no matter who says yes.”
14. “You can’t treat an illness with cosmetic surgery, and that’s why it would be great if there were qualified therapists in plastic surgeons’ offices, and that people would go to a therapeutic meeting before plastic surgery. I think that should be part of the FDA requirement.”
15. “I think it’s really important that the people who are going to make decisions for other people have fair, truthful and compassionate regard for all people, not just some people.”
16. “Some people work hard in this business and become really popular, really big stars but they never receive an award from within the business. Somehow, when your colleagues and friends believe in you to the point of handing you an award it means so much more.”
17. “I tried for modeling work but it was a bit slow and that’s when I took a part-time job at McDonalds. It gave me income while I was waiting for my big break and at the very least I could eat.”
18. “You grow. You don’t want to stay the same. The thing that was great for you before isn’t going to be great for you now. A woman should have many faces through her life, not just one face, not just one hairdo, not just one way. You want to keep rediscovering what’s fun for you.”
19. “I don’t think there is anything wrong with cosmetic surgery at all. I think it’s great. But I don’t think it’s alright to distort yourself.”
20. “I think we have to be not so afraid of scarcity. We have to be willing to give away all things.”
21. “You can only sleep your way to the middle; you have to claw your way to the top.”
22. “Once you’ve had your life burn down, it takes time to be a Phoenix.”
