I'll never forget an interview I watched years ago of Sophia Loren, a truly beautiful woman in so many ways who at the time was in her 60s.
She was asked something like "How do you stay so beautiful, ageless? Every woman on the planet would love to know your secrets".
Her answer?
Something about being one of the luckiest women in the world whose career, loving, intelligent and supporting husband as well as family made her rich and comfortable enough for her to be able to sleep 10 hours a night uninterrupted, have people to do all the tedious house work and chores, others to help take care of the children and a secretary to organise her daily activities, parties and travels.
Then she said something that stayed with me:
"I'm not special, any other woman as lucky as I have been would be the same, have the means to be as beautiful as you say I am."
