“I was born under a lucky star, and I have nothing whatsoever to regret. I wouldn’t change a thing about my life.”

“There was a star danced, and under that was I born.”

“Be speedy, for I was born under a thirsty star.”

“I was born under an unlucky star. I love France and I am not French. I am English and I can't like England. My father was Scotch, my mother was born in Honolulu. My father, William Tarn, died at the age of forty in 1890. My real name is Pauline Tarn. I changed it to Renée Vivien.”

“I regret nothing. There have been things I missed, but I ask no questions, because I have loved it, such as it has been, even the moments of emptiness, even the unanswered-and that I loved it, that is the unanswered in my life.”

“The only thing I regret about my past is the length of it. If I had to live my life again, I'd make the same mistakes, only sooner.”

“I have no regrets. I wouldn't have lived my life the way I did if I was going to worry about what people were going to say.”

“It was a remarkable time of my life. I don’t think anyone except the few people who have played James Bond can tell you how strange and special it is and how much your life changes. I have no regrets about doing it at all.”

“When I look at my life I realise that the mistakes I have made, the things I really regret, were not errors of judgement but failures of feeling.”

“Indignation at literary wrongs I leave to men born under happier stars. I cannot afford it.”
