"I restore myself when I'm alone."

"I am good, but not an angel. I do sin,
but I am not the devil. I am just
a small girl in a big world trying to
find someone to love."

"We should all start to live before we get too old. Fear is stupid. So are regrets."

"I don't mind being burdened with being glamorous and sexual. Beauty and femininity are ageless and can't be contrived, and glamour, although the manufacturers won't like this, cannot be manufactured. Not real glamour; it's based on femininity. We are all born sexual creatures, thank God, but it's a pity so many people despise and crush this natural gift. Art, real art, comes from it, everything.

"I don't know who invented high heels, but all women owe him a lot!"


"If I play a stupid girl and ask a stupid question, I've got to follow it through, what am I supposed to do, look intelligent?"


"I love to do the things the censors won't pass."

"I've been on a calendar, but never on time."

"The truth is I've never fooled anyone. I've let people fool themselves. They didn't bother to find out who and what I was. Instead they would invent a character for me. I wouldn't argue with them. They were obviously loving someone I wasn't. When they found this out, they would blame me for disillusioning them and fooling them."

"It's woman's spirit and mood a man has to stimulate in order to make sex interesting. The real lover is the man who can thrill you by touching your head or smiling into your eyes or just staring into space."

"I learned to walk as a baby and I haven't had a lesson since."
 

"When it comes down to it, I let them think what they want. If they care enough to bother with what I do, then I'm already better than them."

"Beneath the makeup and behind the smile I am just a girl who wishes for the world."

"Ever notice how 'What the hell' is always the right answer?"

"I don't mind living in a man's world, as long as I can be a woman in it."

"If I'd observed all the rules I'd never have got anywhere."

"We are all of us stars, and we deserve to twinkle."

"I just want to be wonderful."

"I want to grow old without facelifts. I want to have the courage to be loyal to the face I have made."

"Dogs never bite me. Just humans."

"Success makes so many people hate you. I wish it wasn't that way. It would be wonderful to enjoy success without seeing envy in the eyes of those around you."

"Women who seek to be equal with men lack ambition."

"Sex is part of nature. I go along with nature."

"I don't mind making jokes, but I don't want to look like one."

"It's all make believe, isn't it?"

"Hollywood is a place where they'll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss and fifty cents for your soul. I know, because I turned down the first offer often enough and held out for the fifty cents."

"I'm very definitely a woman and I enjoy it. "
