The first time an autograph hunter told me, 'You are my mother's favorite actress,' I aged twenty years.

I've never sought success in order to get fame and money; it's the talent and the passion that count in success.

I was the shyest human ever invented, but I had a lion inside me that wouldn't shut up.

I can do everything with ease on the stage, whereas in real life I feel too big and clumsy. So I didn't choose acting. It chose me.

my life has been wonderful. I have done what I felt like. I was given courage and I was given adventure and that has carried me along. And then also a sense of humor and a little bit of common sense. It has been a very rich life.

In Hollywood, you're never any better than your last picture.

I regret the things I didn't do, not what I did.
