Bo Derek Quotations

It's really difficult for me. Language, I am sorry that I haven't. I think I just always expected that you learn a word in place of a word and when I discovered how difficult the grammar was and learning that was very discouraging for me.

Whoever said money can't buy happiness simply didn't know where to go shopping.

Also there is a twist to the story as I'm being haunted and driven crazy, attacked and so on. All I seem to do is run and scream and cry in every scene.

I found my love when I was 17-years-old and my love is one hundred percent honest. We've never had any ugly, rocky things to overcome.

I grew up on the beaches of Southern California surfing and sailing and I've always loved horses so it was part of my dream that I was able to fulfill to have horses.

It's been very nice. I haven't gotten out too much because we've been working a lot but other wise the people have been very nice and I've had a good time.

We were on the island of Hawaii. I think I was there three months. It was fantastic. It is not much different than films. It depends on the television show but much of television today is as good or better than most films.

I love Spain. I go back two or three times a year usually to visit friends and ride horses.

There's an incredible fascination for that and that goes with violence and everything else in pictures.

I played a definite part in it. I guess the things that I played in films and the way the nudity and the love scenes were handled were really different.

Probably some of the projects I chose to do after that had more to do with what people thought of me. The industry was very open and probably hoping that I could do anything.

Having a horse is a huge responsibility, so people should be very careful before they consider getting one.

I think a high school girl hitchhiking is stupid. It was dangerous then and it's dangerous now.

In California, I guess you belong to the state; you don't even belong to your parents. It's an old Spanish law. It doesn't require your parents to swear out a complaint; anybody can.

When you trust your director completely, then you can relax, be spontaneous, be malleable.

I hate to run. I never, ever run.

I grew up on the beaches, and I always found it kind of funny that it's considered decent if you cover three tiny spots with pieces of fabric.

You could be as vulgar as you want, as long as three tiny spots were covered.

I think a lot of my girlfriends growing up gave themselves up to any boy who paid attention to them. I think young women now are a lot more particular. They pick and choose.

I love horses. I spent seven years as a racing commissioner on a horse-racing board.

I travel a lot. A lot, a lot. I don't have a single passport that doesn't have extra pages on it.

Horses are a symbol of America and can be marketed that way overseas.

Life has played some funny tricks on me and taken me on a wild ride. How did I ever get into this wonderful mess that is my life?

Glorifying violence is terrible. Simulating sex is nothing - it's something so impersonal really.

Laws exist in every state that make animal cruelty a crime. Horse slaughter is simply another form of animal abuse.

I was alone for five years. Having a love is a gigantic bonus in life, but I wasn't unhappy when I was single, either.

With or without horse slaughter, horse rescues need our help and support. That can involve financial donations, volunteering, or even donating items like brushes and blankets. Horse rescues operate with little money, so every little thing you can do to help goes a long way.

He's just fun, so much fun. I'm very happy now.

I feel so fortunate. I was brought up along the beaches in Southern California, and then got to have horses.

When you look at women who have had plastic surgery, they have lost something - usually an expression, something unique to their face.

'10' was amazing! I had no career before '10' and then all of a sudden I was able to do pretty much whatever I was able to do in the business.

My mother was working a lot, so she was gone often. I would leave school and hitchhike to the beach. I can't believe I hitchhiked now. It scares me to death now.

It is inconceivable that, in the richest nation in the world, we have 30 million people at risk of hunger. I believe that, if we truly make a commitment as a nation, we can defeat hunger.

I'm getting to the place where I can sort of go through airports now and there's no hysteria. I can go places alone even. But at the same time, if you get in trouble, you can find somebody in your age group who might recognize you.

My father actually lived next door to Hobie Alter [creator of the Hobie catamarans]. So growing up, we had prototypes and experimental things that we could play with; it was just fabulous. I actually bought my first surfboard in junior high. I saved my money.

I found that whatever interested me in life, I could pretty much pick up the phone, call somebody, and all of a sudden be in the middle of it.

It's so easy to conform and to follow. It's very difficult to be rebellious and live by what you believe is right. And to make decisions and to take the consequences. Very few people do.

My character is an agoraphobic. She is afraid to leave her home or wherever her safe place is and in this case it's her home with her husband.
