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 was never happy as a child, so it wasn't something I took for granted.i did'nt grow up as an average, american child. An average child grows up with an expectation of being happy.
This industry should behave like a mother whose child has just run out in front of a car. But instead of clasping the child to them, they start punishing the child. Like you don't dare get a cold. How dare you get a cold! I mean, the executives can get colds and stay home forever and phone it in, but how dare you, the actor, get a cold or a virus. You know, no one feels worse than the one who's sick. I sometimes wish, gee, I wish they had to act a comedy with a temperature and a virus infection.
I was brought up differently than the average American child because the average child is brought up expecting to be happy.
Having a child, that's always been my biggest fear. I want a child and I fear a child.
All little girls should be told they are pretty.
I wanted to ask a thousand questions, but there was no one to ask. Besides I knew that people only told lies to children-lies about everything from soup to Santa Claus.
The thing I want more than anything else? I want to have children. I used to feel for every child I had, I would adopt another.
Someday I want to have children and give them all the love I never had.
I'm looking forward to eventually becoming a marvelous - excuse the word marvelous - character actress. Like Marie Dressler, like Will Rogers.
I kept driving past the theatre with my name on the marquee. Was I excited. I wished they were using 'Norma Jeane' so that all the kids at the home and schools who never noticed me could see it.
Imperfection is beauty. Madness is genius and it is better to be absolutely ridiculous then absolutly boring.
I'm selfish, impatient, and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control, and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.
It was like working with a little sister.
