You are the only person you can actually change
Being an actor is such a humiliating experience because you are selling yourself to the public, your face, your personality, and that is humiliating. As you get older, it becomes more humiliating because you've got less to sell.
With all the opportunities I had, I could have done more. And if I'd done more, I could have been quite remarkable.
I like to move fast, and wearing high heels was tough, and low heels with a skirt is unattractive. So pants took over.
If you have to support yourself, you had bloody well better find some way that is going to be interesting.
"Isn't it fun getting older?" is really a terrible fallacy. That's like saying I prefer driving an old car with a flat tire.
It is the ordinary woman who knows something about love; the gorgeous ones are too busy being gorgeous.
I don't give a damn about marriage. But I do care about honor.
There are no laurels in life, just new challenges.
