It's said in Hollywood that you should always forgive your enemies - because you never know when you'll have to work with them.

The thing about happiness is that it doesn't help you to grow; only unhappiness does that. So I'm grateful that my bed of roses was made up equally of blossoms and thorns. I've had a privileged, creative, exciting life, and I think that the parts that were less joyous were preparing me, testing me, strengthening me.

My goal was to have one husband and seven children, but it turned out to be the other way around.

The more famous an actress becomes, the less she's allowed to eat. Unless she wants to play people's mothers. And in bad clothes, yet.

Humor has been the balm of my life, but it's been reserved for those close to me, not part of the public Lana.

Fame is one thing, notoriety is another.

I've always loved a challenge.
