At first all I wanted to be was famous; then I realized that fame had nothing to do with talent. I felt that I didn't do anything quite well enough, that I was one of those people who was famous but not very talented. So I said, okay, I'll be the Dinah Shore of the Seventies, on TV all the time but nobody quite knows why.

There is only one value to having the look you have when you are young and no value to the look you have when you are older.
One thing about prejudices -- once you break one of them, you're screwed, because then they all have got to go.
If you're waiting for someone to believe in you, you'll be waiting forever. You must believe in yourself.
