If you lead a public life, people are much more on to you than you think.
It is the ordinary woman who knows something about love; the gorgeous ones are too busy being gorgeous.
My greatest strength is common sense. I'm really a standard brand - like Campbell's tomato soup or Baker's chocolate.
Show me an actress who isn't a personality and I'll show you a woman who isn't a star.
The calla lilies are in bloom again.
Afraid of death? Not at all. Be a great relief. Then I wouldn't have to talk to you.
It's a new low for actresses when you have to wonder what is between her ears instead of her legs.
I can remember walking as a child. It was not customary to say you were fatigued. It was customary to complete the goal of the expedition.
With all the opportunities I had, I could have done more. And if I'd done more, I could have been quite remarkable.
Death will be a great relief. No more interviews.
I would have made a terrible parent. The first time my child didn't do what I wanted, I'd kill him.
I can't say I believe in prizes. I was a whiz in the three-legged race - that's something you CAN win.
If you have fame, you never feel that you have fame, if you have the brains of a flea. Because fame is something that's over back of you. It ain't ahead.... Not ahead at all. I mean, if you've done it that's great, but "what are you going to do now?" is the only thing that matters.
My father, a surgeon and urologist, studied sex professionally all his life. Before he died at 82, he told me he hadn't come to any conclusions about it at all.
People have grown fond of me, like some old building.
If it interests you, they don't have to pay you. It's a fascinating business anyway-it's very nice to be paid-but when you do thrilling material, it's like buying a piece of furniture that's really good.
I won't go to a restaurant to eat with friends, always join them afterwards for coffee. In company I always get over enthusiastic, and this leads to indigestion.
I think the reason that very few people really fall in love with anyone is that they're not willing to pay the price.
You never feel that you have fame. It's always in back of you.
You sell yourself. The part that I sell is the creature. The adorable part.
In some ways I've lived my life like a man, made my own decisions, etc. I've been as terrified as the next person, but you've got to keep going.
I always wanted to be a movie actress. I thought it was very romantic. And it was.
I welcome death. In death there are no interviews!
When I started out, I didn't have any desire to be an actress or to learn how to act. I just wanted to be famous.
