It's not the having, it's the getting.

You can't choose between right and wrong by taking a census.

I don't entirely approve of some of the things I have done, or am, or have been. But I'm me. God knows, I'm me.

I want it all quickly 'cause I don't want God to stop and think and wonder if I'm getting more than my share.

I have the emotions of a child in the body of a woman. I was rushed into womanhood for the movies. It caused me long moments of unhappiness and doubt.

I hate myself on the screen. I want to die ... my voice is either too high or too gravelly. I want to dive under the carpet.... I'd love to be tall and willowy ... I'm short.

Something always made me save myself. Either the Betty Ford Center or going onstage to perform in the theater when many people didn't think I could do it.
