that night i took off the uniform for the last time. in the years i had worn it, i had benefited beyond my wildest hopes from all that is good in this country, and i had overcome its lingering faults. i had found something to do with my life that was honorable, useful, and that i could do well, and that i loved doing. that is rare good fortune in anyone’s life. my only regret was that i could not do it all over again. mary j. blige
i have the strength. you know i have everything; i’m equipped. when you finally understand who you are, ages 6 through 60 will understand who you are because when they see a person, that’s come through all that i’ve come through, still standing, it’s amazing.
no more drama, everybody/ i know that we are not invincible/ but can we at least make a positive 1)confession over our life/ and say no more/ say no more/ say no more/ say no more/ no more, no more... isabella rossellini
there was a period actually in my life, where i was lost about what to do and i think that’s when, modeling came about, which was something that i always said "no” to because i thought it’s, uh, 2)objectifying women, i don’t want to be part of it, but i was 28, i didn’t know what to do so i start modeling, never thinking that it was going to be, maybe, the most successful of the career that i’ve had. i regret it ‘ause i start modeling at 28. i could have started at 16 and have 12 more years of it. and after a certain age, you know, there is just less spots there. they, they just don’t write for women in their 50s and i’m 48 and so i thought, you know, instead of just, complain about there isn’t roles, but there are other things in life that i like and one of them was 3)cosmetic. and one thing that is good about getting old, i mean maybe i lose my looks but you become so bold, you have the courage of your action, you can start a business.

那天晚上我最后一次脱下制服。穿着它的这些年里,我得益于这个国家的所有优点,收获胜过我最高的期望,同时也克服了其挥之不去的缺陷。我找到了自己的人生应该从事的工作,这项工作光荣、有益,我有能力胜任,而且热衷其中。那在任何人的生命中都是极为难得的福气。我唯一的遗憾是不能重新经历一次了。
玛丽·布莱姬
我具备这种能力。你知道我万事俱备、整装待发。当你最后明白自己是怎样的人,年龄从六岁到六十岁的人都会明白你是怎样的人,因为当他们见到一个人经历过如我所经历过的一切,仍然屹立不倒时,都会惊叹不已。
各位,不再是演戏了/我知道我们并非不可超越/然而能否至少对自己的人生中肯评述/并诉说不再了/诉说不再了/诉说不再了/诉说不再了/不再了,不再了……

我的一生中就有这么一个时期,我不知何去何从,我想就是此时模特儿这个职业进入我的生活。以前我从不考虑这个职业,因为我觉得它贬低了女性,我不想参与其中,但是我已经二十八岁了,我不知道做什么好,于是我开始当模特,从没有想过当模特会,也许,是我所从事过的最为成功的事业。我感到很遗憾,因为我二十八岁才开始当模特,我应该十六岁就去做,这样我就可以多干十二年了。过了某个年龄,你知道,出现在镜头前的机会就会减少。他们不会为五十多岁的女人写剧本,而我四十八了。因而,我没有抱怨适合我的戏份太少,我想,你知道,人生中还有其它我喜欢的东西,其中一样就是化妆品。日渐衰老的一个好处就是,我是说可能我失去了美貌,但人变得大胆了,拥有了大胆尝试的勇气并且能够开始创业。
