When I started out, I didn't have any desire to be an actress or to learn how to act. I just wanted to be famous.

I was fearless...and lawless.

Never complain. Never explain.

Nobody owes anybody anything; it's up to each individual to set high standards for himself or herself, and to set about working hard and creating a solid future.

It's a business you go into because your an egocentric. It's a very embarrassing profession.

The notion that work is a burden is a terrible mistake. Working and facing up to one's responsibilities: That's happiness.

I have no romantic feelings about age. Either you are interesting at any age or you are not. There is nothing particularly interesting about being old - or being young, for that matter.
