I have never been able to wear pajamas or creepy nightgowns; they disturb my sleep.
When I was five I think, that's when I started wanting to be an actress.
I restore myself when I'm alone.
Nothing's ever easy as long as you go on living.
I like to feel blonde all over.
It's not to much fun to know yourself too well or think you do - everyone needs a little conceit to carry them through & past the falls.
A woman can bring a new love to each man she loves, providing there are not too many.
I won't be satisfied until people want to hear me sing without looking at me. Of course, that doesn't mean I want them to stop looking.
I wish I knew why I am so anguished.
Black men don't like to be called 'boys,' but women accept being called 'girls.'
For a long time I was scared I'd find out I was like my mother.
I always have a full-length mirror next to the camera when I'm doing publicity stills. That way, I know how I look.
I was brought up differently than the average American child because the average child is brought up expecting to be happy.
I don't consider myself an intellectual. And this is not one of my aims. But I admire intellectual people.
