I've still got the same attitude I had when I started. I haven't changed anything but my underwear.
Shelley, arguing with you is like trying to hold a conversation with a swarm of bumblebees.
Every two or three years I knock off for a while. That way I'm constantly the new girl in the whorehouse.
I never will believe there is such a thing as a great actor.
How do I keep fit? I lay down a lot.
Movies bore me; especially my own.
Listen. I got three expressions: looking left, looking right and looking straight ahead.
Stars today are just masturbation images.
I have two acting styles: with and without a horse.
I started out to be a sex fiend, but I couldn't pass the physical.
Sure I was glad to see John Wayne win the Oscar I'm always glad to see the fat lady win the Cadillac on TV, too.
I never take any notice of reviews-unless a critic has thought up some new way of describing me. That old one about my lizard eyes and anteater nose and the way I sleep my way through pictures is so hackneyed now.
The only effect that I ever noticed from smoking marijuana was a sort of mild sedative, a release of tension when I was overworking. It never made me boisterous of quarrelsome. If anything, it calmed me and reduced my activity.
This is not a tough job. You read a script. If you like the part and the money is O.K., you do it. Then you remember your lines. You show up on time. You do what the director tells you to do. When you finish, you rest and then go on to the next part. That's it.
