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've been on a calendar, but never on time.
Say good-bye to Pat, say good-bye to Jack and say good-bye to yourself, because you're a nice guy.
People ask me if I am going on making cheesecake pictures now that I'm a star. My answer is that as long as there is a boy in Korea who wants a pinup of me, I'll go on posing for them.
People feel fame gives them some kind of privilege to walk up to you and say anything to you, of any kind of nature — and it won't hurt your feelings — like it's happening to your clothing.
Even though I was born there, I still can't think of one good thing to say about it. If I close my eyes, and picture LA, all I see is one big varicose vein.
