Ursula Andress - biography

“I don’t have time to think about age.  There are so many things to do.”

“I suddenly find out that I’m 60, and I get shocked by the number, because I feel like I’m 20.”

“I never went to school.  I never went to acting school because I was so scared.”

“I live in Italy.  I visit my family in Switzerland.”

“I didn’t see Dr.  No for a year, but I liked it when I saw it.  It was a fun movie.  I don’t like the Bond movies now.  I hate special effects.”

“I hate to look at myself in a mirror, and I never go and see films.”

“I mostly gave away what I had from the James Bond movie.”

“Elvis and I continued to be friends, and I saw him once or twice a year.  But he was a troubled person.”

“Collecting is my joy; it gives me great satisfaction.”

“I hate the word sexy.”

“It’s a mystery.  All I did was wear this bikini in Dr No - not even a small one - and whooosh!  Overnight, I’ve made it.”

“Everything is a piece of me, a moment of my life.”

“I take care of my flowers and my cats.  And enjoy food.  And that’s living.”

“I love everything that’s beautiful.  A lot of things.”

“To me, it’s much more moral to live with the man you love without signing a piece of paper than to live legally in an atmosphere of boredom which can eventually turn to hate.”

“I have no problem with nudity.  I can look at myself.  I like walking around nude.  It doesn’t bother me.  I see all the people walking around nude; it doesn’t bother me.”

“I’ve nothing against it.  We’re born this way.”

“This bikini made me a success.”

“Don’t take anything from me because I’ll track it down.”

“Even if you have 20,000 dollars to buy an item, you still try to get a good price at antique stores.  I collect furniture, rugs, paintings, frames.  It’s my hobby to go around to shops and markets.”

“I couldn’t live up to it.  So I chose to run away.”

“I don’t use my body to seduce, no.  I just stand there.”

“I fell from the sky.  I’m a parachutist, and I missed my mark.”

“I wanted to be a decorator.  I wanted to interior design homes and do everything myself.”

“I was under contract to Paramount.  They wanted to make me into somebody which I was not.  So I got so scared and rebelled, so they threw me out of the studio.”

“I’m always shocked when I see myself because I don’t recognize myself.”

“If I don’t have room for an item, I put it in warehouses.”

“It’s going to be over soon, so I don’t really have time to get busy.”

“They offered me one cover about 10 years ago, and I said, no, I can’t do it.  I’m happy to cover up now.”

“When I go to a country, I go to flea markets, antique stores.  I am always looking for something.”
