Chita Rivera Quotes

Beauty is not just physical.

It's how you look at beauty. Is it only an outward appearance with hair and makeup and a hot body, or is it something deeper than that?

Beauty is about perception, not about make-up. I think the beginning of all beauty is knowing and liking oneself. You can't put on make-up, or dress yourself, or do you hair with any sort of fun or joy if you're doing it from a position of correction.

Some people say I'm not a very pretty woman, but I'm a very beautiful woman inside.

Beauty comes in all forms. It's not just external; it's internal as well.

I'm firmly convinced that true beauty only springs from the acceptance of oneself, from an awareness of who we really are.

I think it's what's inside that makes you beautiful on the outside.

I think beauty is not just about what we put on our heads or on our faces or what we wear: it's deeper than that, and if we can celebrate that, celebrate the women, not just the superficiality... I think it would be really gorgeous.

I feel it is important not to get overly obsessed and overly carried away with just the physical aspect. There is more to beauty than just the physical appearance. You are also a complete person, and a woman should have an identity beyond just the way she looks.

I'm not a great beauty. That's not me.

Beauty has so many forms, and I think the most beautiful thing is confidence and loving yourself.

The most common error made in matters of appearance is the belief that one should disdain the superficial and let the true beauty of one's soul shine through. If there are places on your body where this is a possibility, you are not attractive - you are leaking.

Maybe you just don't see your own beauty.

True beauty is when someone radiates that they like themselves.

If you're comfortable with yourself, then you'll look beautiful. If you're not feeling comfortable with yourself, than that kind of shows. I think that as cheesy as the pageant industry can be seen at times, it actually does help women - boosting their confidence and growing into their own. I have to give it credit for that.

Let's just say beauty inspires me. But I like all beauty - I think it really comes from the inside out.

Beauty is how you feel inside, and it reflects in your eyes. It is not something physical.

I sincerely feel that beauty largely comes from within.

My beauty icons - and this sounds cheesy - have a beauty that comes from inside.

It took a long while for me to know that I'm beautiful. I remember going through this phase when I was younger of wanting to pass by mirrors and not look at them. That was so ridiculous. I've learned now that beauty starts from within.

I think being beautiful is only one aspect of your life.

There's more to life than cheek bones.

'Pretty' is not the amount of makeup on your face or the shirt you're wearing or the size of your pants - that is false.

I never think about my face. I actually just care about what I'm doing - my voice and my character. I don't care about, 'Am I fat? Am I ugly?'

Everyone is beautiful in their own way, and nobody should have self doubt.
