I only said, 'I want to be left alone.'

There is no one who would have me - I can't cook.

Life would be so wonderful if we only knew what to do with it.

I like the sea: we understand one another. It is always yearning, sighing for something it cannot have; and so am I.

I don't want to be a silly temptress. I cannot see any sense in getting dressed up and doing nothing but tempting men in pictures.

I don't like writers. They're dangerous people.

it's difficult in Hollywood to be allowed to try anything. It's all a terrible compromise. There is no time for art. All that matters is what they call box office.
