Acting for me was the gospel, the love of the spoken word.

Age protects love not, but love protects up to a certain degree before age.

I know there were things emanating from me. I was not aware of what attracted all these directors to me.

To give the best of yourself, to be ready to please is OK for a while. But people expect certain things from you, and you have to go beyond that and say, no.

Being an actress is to be in tune with the fantasies of a man. What woman never dreamt of that?

I'm always amazed when young women who are having babies want their husbands to watch the babies come out. I would never allow anything like that.

The life you had is nothing. It is the life you have that is important.
