The word actress has always seemed less a job description to me than a title

When you have spent an important part of your life playing Let's Pretend, it's often easy to see symbolism where none exists.

Everyone should see Hollywood once, I think, through the eyes of a teenage girl who has just passed a screen test.

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

A flame burns brightest just before it goes out.

I approached everything, my job, my family, my romances, with intensity.

Where there is hope, there is no despair.
