Show me an actress who isn't a personality and I'll show you a woman who isn't a star.
I would have made a terrible parent. The first time my child didn't do what I wanted, I'd kill him.
How wonderful are the women and men in the world who feed us. Especially those who feed us with no salary. The mothers—I thought. The wives.
Only when a woman decides not to have children, can a woman live like a man. That's what I've done.
To be loved is very demoralizing
I don't believe in marriage. It's bloody impractical. 'To love, honor, and obey.' If it weren't, you wouldn't have to sign a contract.
Children need boundaries, so they can know how far they have to go to get beyond them.
I believe how I act today will affect how I am tomorrow.
When I started out, I didn't have any desire to be an actress or to learn how to act. I just wanted to be famous.
I have had twenty years of perfect companionship with a man among men. He is a rock and a protection. I have never regretted it.
I could peel you like a pear and god himself would see the justice in it.
Not everyone is lucky enough to understand how delicious it is to suffer,
It's a bore - B-O-R-E - when you find you've begun to rot.
I have always lived my life exactly as I wanted. I've tried to please no one but myself... but I'm entirely content. I can sit back in my old age and not regret a single moment, not wish to change a single thing. It's what I wish for you...a life with no regrets.
