It doesn't have to glitter to be gold.
Beauty holds more worth than gold.
He called you pretty...That's practically an insult, the way you look right now...You're much more than beautiful.
If your appearance is all people see, they have no respect for your mind.
But he who loveliness within Hath found, all outward loathes, For he who color loves, and skin, Loves but their oldest clothes.
I believe in content. Just looking pretty next to the hero gives me no joy. I believe I have more to offer than that.
I think that my looks through the years have served me well because I was never a great beauty and I was never cast as a great beauty. My looks were not part of my transportation - certainly not in the typical leading lady role - so I never leaned on it and I never really made that a high value.
Remember, that if thou marry for beauty, thou bindest thyself all thy life for that which, perchance, will never last nor please thee one year; and when thou hast it, it will be to thee of no price at all.
I obviously am cognizant of the fact that being handsome gives me greater breadth of opportunity. I'd hope that what I bring to the table far surpasses just being handsome.
