I'll be goddamned if I'm going to stay in a business where I have to get up earlier and earlier and it takes longer and longer for me to get in front of a camera.

I hated Hollywood. It’s a town without pity. Only success counts. I know of no other place in the world where so many people suffer from nervous breakdowns, where there are so many alcoholics, neurotics and so much unhappiness.

I don`t want to dress up a picture with just my face.

My parents, despite their serious attitude toward life in general, and that of their children in particular, were very broadminded people. There was no such thing as a bad profession for them. As I was their daughter, they knew that, whatever profession I chose, I would do it well. That was enough for them. There was always trust among the Kellys.

The freedom of the press works in such a way that there is not much freedom from it.

What I've learned in the past 12 years of recording (I made my first CD at 12) is how important it is to find one's authentic voice.

This is one night I wish I smoked and drank.
