Take care of the small circle around you. When you have succeeded with them, then move outwards, one small step at a time.

I was born with an enormous need for affection, and a terrible need to give it.

I never thought I'd land in pictures with a face like mine.

I have learnt how to live…how to be in the world and of the world, and not just to stand aside and watch.

I've been lucky. Opportunities don't often come along. So, when they do, you have to grab them.

I think sex is overrated. I don't have sex appeal and I know it. As a matter of fact, I think I'm rather funny looking. My teeth are funny, for one thing, and I have none of the attributes usually required for a movie queen, including the shapeliness.

And...I think that's what life is all about, actually, about children and flowers.
