Nothing's ever easy as long as you go on living.
For a long time I was scared I'd find out I was like my mother.
Fame may go by and - so long, I've had you.
As long as I can remember, I've always loved people.
It might be a kind of relief to be finished. You have to start all over again. But I believe you’re always as good as your potential. I now live in my work and in a few relationships with the few people I can really count on. Fame will go by, and, so long, I’ve had you fame. If it goes by, I’ve always known it was fickle. So at least it’s something I experienced, but that’s not where I live.
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.
Beneath the makeup and behind the smile I'm just a girl who wishes for the world.
Blond hair and breasts, that's how I got started. I couldn't act. All I had was blond hair and a body men liked. The reason I got ahead is that I was lucky and met the right men.
I've never been in a Hollywood fight or feud. I have the most wonderful memory for forgetting things.
I used to think as I looked at the Hollywood night, 'there must be thousands of girls sitting alone like me, dreaming of becoming a movie star. But I'm not going to worry about them. I'm dreaming the hardest.'
