Beauty does not last forever. Ornella Muti quotes

About herself. Ornella Muti quotes
I had a difficult period in my life, so I stayed in the village, drew and painted.
I do not drink alcohol at all. I do not like the state of intoxication, and I’ve never been drunk in my life.
To grow old is sick. To deny this is hypocrite.
I’ve always been very timid and still a very timid person.
All that I did not like in people, I tried to find in myself and get rid of it. Everything I liked, I tried to obtain.
Each of us knows what is good and what is bad for him.
I like to go in for sports – this is passion.
My real name is Francesca, so my family and friends call me.
Although I love to chat, I will not say anything superfluous.
I speak German, Italian, French, Spanish and English.
I’m sentimental, but there’s nothing wrong with that.
