I was born an only child in Vienna, Austria. My father found hours to sit by me by the library fire and tell fairy stories.

I enjoy countless hundreds pursuing me. I love those who love me the most. I am sort of flattered by men showing attention to me.

That's how it always is in the entertainment industry, your feet are always treading Jello.

My mother always called me an ugly weed, so I never was aware of anything until I was older. Plain girls should have someone telling them they are beautiful. Sometimes this works miracles.

I would tell anyone who wants something from someone else to feign not wanting it. People are perverse. If you show great affection to them, they'll run the other way.

I've been an important star and lived a full life, yet I only hve three close friends. I guess that's all anyone can expect.

I often talked to Bing Crosby, and while I liked him, I never understood why he was so popular. To me his voice was just a gimmick.
