The 'public' scares me, but people I trust.
The fact is that I find more most men are more open, more generous, and much more stimulating than the majority of females I know.
When I was 11, the whole world was closed to me. I just felt I was on the outside of the world.
Fame is fickle, and I know it. It has its compensations but it also has its drawbacks, and I've experienced them both.
I like actors very much, but to marry one would be like marrying your brother. You look too much alike in the mirror.
I want the world to see my body.
Only the public can make a star. It's the studios who try to make a system out of it.
If you spend your life competing with business men, what do you have? A bank account and ulcers!
I've found men are less likely to let petty things annoy them.
My public is growing up just as I am. After all, I'm not 19 anymore and if I stick with the sex bit, who will be paying to see me when I'm 50?
What's the good of drawing in the next breath if all you do is let it out and draw in another?
Fame may go by and - so long, I've had you.
How do I know about a man's needs for a sex symbol? I'm a girl.
Why is it you always meet people when you look your worst?
