I'm a tough old broad from Brooklyn. Don't try to make me into something I'm not. If you want someone to tiptoe down the Barkley staircase in crinoline and politely ask where the cattle went, get another girl.

A star is only as good as her last picture.

Just be truthful - and if you can fake that, you've got it made.

Career is too pompous a word. It was a job, and I have always felt privileged to be paid for doing what I love doing.

I'm now the Lord of the Brighton Manor.

The more you kick something that's dead, the worse it smells.

Egotism - usually just a case of mistaken nonentity.
