I was never used to being happy, so that wasn't something I ever took for granted.
...I've found out it's fun to go shopping. It's such a feminine thing to do.
It stirs up envy, fame does.
Couldn't we end this interview with what I really want to say? That what the world really needs is a real feeling of kinship -- everybody: stars, laborers, Negroes, Jews, Arabs. We are all brothers. If we could end this article saying just that, we'd get down to what we should all be talking about. Please don't make me a joke. End the interview with what I believe.
My work is the only ground I've ever had to stand on.
In leaving Hollywood and coming to New York, I feel I can be more myself. After all, if I can't be myself, what's the good of being anything at all?
Always admired men who had many women. It must be that to a child of a dissatisfied woman the idea of monogamy is hollow.
I sleep in the nude but I pull the sheets up.
Happy Birthday, Mr Presidenttttt
I always felt I was a nobody, and the only way for me to be somebody was to be - well, somebody else. Which is probably why I wanted to act.
Doing a scene is like opening a bottle. If it doesn't open one way, try another - perhaps even give it up for another bottle?
You're always running into people's unconscious.
Fame to me certainly is only a temporary and a partial happiness ... fame is not really for a daily diet, that's not what fulfills you. It warms you a bit but the warming is temporary. It's like caviar, you know - it's good to have caviar but not when you have to have it every meal and every day.
A sweater is like life, you get nothing out of it that you don't put into it!
