I walk an hour almost every day - and very quickly - wherever I am. Sometimes I go on long, all-day hikes with friends.
I never really liked Hollywood. I found it unreal - unreal and full of men and women whose lives were confused and full of pain.
I certainly don't think of my life as a fairy tale. I think of myself as a modern, contemporary woman who has had to deal with all kinds of problems that many women today have to deal with.
My husband often remarked what a pity it was that a great country like America, which in Europe is still regarded as such a young nation, should be represented seemingly only by old or infirm men.
The women here in Monaco don't like me, and so I have to watch everything I say and everything I do because they're so critical.
I did enjoy and take pride in my work as an actress, yet I'm bemused by suppositions that my life since has somehow been less fulfilling. That certainly is not the case. Rather the reverse.
If I'd met the prince two or three years earlier, perhaps I might not have married him - at least not so soon. But we came together at the right time.
We just don't like the idea of turning the children over to nannies and minders. We like to help them ourselves - and then, of course, we know what to tell them when they ought to do something on their own.
Ingrid Bergman made an enormous impression on me. I couldn't imagine where that kind of acting talent came from.

I've been accused of being cold, snobbish, distant. Those who know me well know that I’m nothing of the sort. If anything, the opposite is true.

My father had a very simple view of life: you don’t get anything for nothing. Everything has to be earned, through work, persistence and honesty.

My parents, despite their serious attitude toward life in general, and that of their children in particular, were very broadminded people. There was no such thing as a bad profession for them. As I was their daughter, they knew that, whatever profession I chose, I would do it well. That was enough for them. There was always trust among the Kellys.Collection: Daughter
