25 Quotes by Eileen Ford

None of the people I grew up with had identity problems. We all had perfectly marvelous lives.

I feel that my ideas of beauty have been given very strong backing by Botticelli and a few others: Slender hands, long neck, long limbs - look at Nefertiti. She was very teensy-weensy with a long neck and wide-spaced eyes.

My family believed I could do no wrong. That's probably why I have utter confidence in myself even when I shouldn't have.

The horrible thing about being me is that I have a very good eye about what people look like. Even me.

I create a look, and I create a style.

I can't add above 10, I can't draw a stick figure, and I'm tone deaf. So I had to be able to do something. I found that something was picking successful models.

I never worry about fat people worrying about thin people, because slender people bury the dead.

Our business was built on trust.

Most models are emotionally abandoned. They need me. I'm their mother.
