I never say 'never,' and I never say 'always.'

I’ve always treated my children as beings in their own right. I respect their feelings and aspirations entirely.

I am basically a feminist. I think that women can do anything they decide to do.

Although I’ve played a wide variety of roles, I’ve never had the chance to act in a story written specially for me. It’s a pity as they are the only stories that really let you reveal your personality.

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 loved acting. I didn’t particularly like being a movie star.

I avoid looking back. I prefer good memories to regrets.
