I thank God who slowly dressed me in a heavy skin, otherwise I would now be dead.

A kiss is a secret told to the mouth instead of the ear; kisses are the messengers of love and tenderness.

I have no regrets. I wouldn't have lived my life the way I did if I was going to worry about what people were going to say.

Time is shortening. But every day that I challenge this cancer and survive is a victory for me.

Cancer victims who don't accept their fate, who don't learn to live with it, will only destroy what little time they have left.

I said, "I don't think I can give you that kind of emotion." And he [Hitchcock] sat there and said, "Ingrid, fake it!" Well, that was the best advice I've had in my whole life, because in all the years to come there were many directors who gave me what I thought were quite impossible instructions and many difficult things to do, and just when I was on the verge of starting to argue with them, I heard his voice coming to me through the air saying, "Ingrid, fake it!" It saved a lot of unpleasant situations and waste of time.

If you took acting away from me, I'd stop breathing.
