To function as an actress, I have to be in love. I have to have that incentive to work.

I don't know why you people [the press] like to compare me to Marilyn or that girl, what's her name, Kim Novak. Cleavage, of course, helped me a lot to get where I am. I don't know how they got there.

Most girls don't know what to do with what they've got.

I'd like ten more babies and ten more chihuahuas and a few Academy Awards. Meanwhile, I enjoy being a sex symbol and making people happy.

I want to earn my own way, I like having nice things but I've never accepted anything I haven't earned.

Cary Grant was one of the most marvelous men I've ever met.

If you're going to do something wrong, do it big, because the punishment is the same either way.
