Unlike the stage, I never found it helpful to be good in a bad movie.

I dated dozens of young men, had fun with all, made commitments to none.

As an actress, I was trained to show emotion I did not feel, or no emotion at all.

Cars, furs, and gems were not my weaknesses.

we Irish don't really need thousands of people surging behind a big brass band to have a parade. One guitar player and a few people whistling will do the job.

I had been offered a Hollywood contract before my 18th birthday. It gave me the spark I needed.

I ask myself: would I have been any worse off if I had stayed home or lived on a farm, and instead of shock treatments received rest and quiet and the good medication?
