A woman gains status when she refuses to see anything killed to be put on her back. Then she’s truly beautiful.

I don't know if I want to get married again.

I have found that when you are deeply troubled, there are things you get from the silent devoted companionship of a dog that you can get from no other source.

I always feel a rise in my scalp or in the backs of my wrists when something is special, whether it be a song or a man.

I just feel so fortunate and so blessed to have been able to entertain people in the theatres and on record, it's just an amazing life that I've experienced.

Almost all of "Julie" was shot on location in Carmel, which is a lovely resort town a little south of San Francisco. My co-star was Louis Jourdan, whom I liked very much. An amiable man, very gentle, very much interested in the people around him; we had a good rapport and I found talking to him a joy . . . We would take long walks on the beautiful Carmel beach, chatting by the hour.

If there is a heaven, I'm sure Rock Hudson is there because he was such a kind person.
