Joan Rivers Quotes

The one cool thing with getting older is that you can actively choose to just be an eccentric.

I'm very proud of my well-earned wrinkles, so show 'em.

I'm finally looking older and inviting my wrinkles.

The good thing about getting older is that, as you become less attractive, so you have less desire to go out and conquer everyone you see.

Age brings a freedom. When you're young, you're much more subject to the idea of what feminine is or how you should look or how you should behave.

My favourite feature is my hair. It has always made me look different. It was so red when I was born that my mother thought I had blood on my head.

When I think of the Blanc & Eclare girl, I think of me.

Sometimes females feel like they should act like men, but they should really just be themselves.

What makes a girl a girl? What makes a guy a guy? Do you have to be what they want you to be? Or do you stop and listen to that voice inside you? I know who I am. I'm Petra West. And I'm a girl. You want me to sleep somewhere else, fine. Whatever. But I'm not going to pretend to be somebody I'm not. I've done enough of that.

Women with short hair are really sexy. There's something liberating about freeing yourself from the norms.

I enjoy being a girl.

Despite what anti-aging ads say, growing older can be better. I feel better in my skin, 100 percent. You have greater effects of gravity, but the better sense of yourself you have is something I wouldn't trade. Women who lie about their age - 'why?'

I've been such an oddball my whole life, but I've always been cool and I've always dressed fairly smartly.

I wear clothes that most people in the Midwest would probably deem inappropriate at my age. And I rock a bikini all summer long. I know that it's not normal, but I just don't care. I live once.

All I want is beautiful. I mean, I like grey hair, I love wrinkles. But this is me.

I don't like it when people who are young act like they're 40. That's taking too much on. Putting up a shield and trying to act like you're so mature or whatever - I don't try to act mature.

I'm not afraid to play my age. I never was. I've never been an ingenue. I like getting older.

She's doing that, and she's unbelievable. I can wear T-shirts and still be great, too. So that's just what I'm proving to people.
