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.
I learned to walk when I was ten months old and I've been walking this way ever since.
A man has a tendency to accept you the way you are, while most women immediately start to pick flaws and want to change you.
I learned also that the best way to keep out of trouble was by never complaining or asking for anything.
When you're famous you kind of run into human nature in a raw kind of way. It stirs up envy, fame does.
all girls are beautiful in their own way
One of the best things that ever happened to me is that I'm a woman. That is the way all females should feel.
That's the way you feel when you're beaten inside. You don't feel angry at those who've beaten you. You just feel ashamed.
You can't sleep your way into being a star. It takes much, much more. But it helps a lot of actresses get their first chance that way.
Friends accept you the way you are.
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.
