Fame and fortune does not mean anything if you don't have a happy home.

I wish to live to 150 years old, but the day I die, I wish it to be with a cigarette in one hand and a glass of whiskey in the other.

Although no one believes me, I have always been a country girl and still have a country girl's values

The truth is that the only time I'm happy is when I'm doing absolutely nothing. I don't understand people who like to work and talk about it like it was some sort of goddamn duty. Doing nothing feel like floating on warm water to me. Delightful, perfect.

Don't think for a minute that bad publicity and endless criticism don't leave their claw marks on everyone concerned. Your friends try to cheer you up by saying lightly, "I suppose you get used to it, and ignore it." You try. You try damned hard. But you never get used to it. It always wounds and hurts.

I have only one rule in acting - trust the director and give him heart and soul.

After my screen test, the director clapped his hands gleefully and yelled: “She can't talk! She can't act! She's sensational!”
