I don't believe in collective guilt, but I do believe in collective responsibility.

Ive had my share of difficult moments, but whatever difficulties Ive gone through, Ive always gotten a prize at the end.

I never think of myself as an icon. What is in other people's minds is not in my mind. I just do my thing.

Look, whenever I hear or read I’m beautiful, I simply don’t understand it … I’m certainly not beautiful in any conventional way. I didn't make my career on beauty.

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

It's sad if people think that's (homemaking) a dull existance, [but] you can't just buy an apartment and furnish it and walk away. It's the flowers you choose, the music you play, the smile you have waiting. I want it to be gay and cheerful, a haven in this troubled world. I don't want my husband and children to come home and find a rattled woman. Our era is already rattled enough, isn't it?

True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul.
