It is difficult to write about any form of mental disease, especially your own, without sounding as if you were examining a bug under glass.

I am not the kind of woman who excuses her mistakes while reminding us of what used to be.

It was the fashion of the time, still is, to feel that all actors are neurotic, or they would not be actors.

Throughout my career, I was to be cast as a frontier girl, an aristocrat, an Arabian, a Eurasian, a Polynesian, and a Chinese.

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

My departure from Hollywood was described as a walk-out. No one understood that I was cracking up.
