					Lady Slim Keith “My celebrity was born less from me than from others’ perception of me. It was about good looks, brains, taste, and style. I can’t take any credit for the good looks and brains, that was heredity. And I really can’t take credit for the taste and style; that was mostly instinct. The only ingredient I brought to this recipe was the recognition that, while you have to be natural, you also have to be different. If, that is, you want to make an impact.” Slim: Memories of a Rich and Imperfect Life
