Without homosexuals there'd be no Hollywood.

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.

You just do it. You force yourself to get up. You force yourself to put one foot before the other, and God damn it, you refuse to let it get to you. You fight. You cry. You curse. Then you go about the business of living. That's how I've done it. There's no other way.

Give. Remember always to give. That is the one thing that will make you grow.

I sweat real sweat and I shake real shakes.

I used to think that drinking would help my shyness, but all it did was exaggerate all the negative qualities.

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.
