A career is wonderful, but you can't curl up with it on a cold night.
A sex symbol becomes a thing. I just hate to be a thing.
Ever notice how 'What the hell' is always the right answer?
I think that when you are famous every weakness is exaggerated.
Too often they don't realize what they have until it's gone. ...they're too stubborn to say, 'Sorry, I was wrong' they hurt the ones closest to their hearts, and we let the most foolish things tear us apart
Please don't make me a joke. End the interview with what I believe. I don't mind making jokes, but I don't want to look like one ... I want to be an artist, an actress with integrity.
It's better being completely ridiculous than unbelievably boring.
My illusions didn't have anything to do with being a fine actress. I knew how third rate I was. I could actually feel my lack of talent, as if it were cheap clothes I was wearing inside. But, my God, how I wanted to learn, to change, to improve!
Acting isn't something you do. Instead of doing it, it occurs. If you're going to start with logic, you might as well give up. You can have conscious preparation, but you have unconscious results.
Respect is one of life's greatest treasures. I mean, what does it all add up to if you don't have that?
The chief drawback with men is that they are too talkative.
Keep smiling, because life is a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about.
Who does she think she is, Marilyn Monroe?
You never know what life is like, until you have lived it.
