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

Nothing strengthens a woman's determination to be in love quite so much as being told that she cannot.

I needed to be accepted, not humored. I intended to act.

Cars, furs, and gems were not my weaknesses.

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

A romantic, I think, picks the rose and is careless with the thorn.

My parents argued more than I remembered, about money and all the little things that disguise the truth that you are still arguing about money.
