I think your whole life shows in your face and you should be proud of that.

[Katharine Hepburn] was much stronger, much more opinionated than I am or ever was, and it was considered attractive on her. But not on me. I don't know. Maybe her Bryn Mawr accent was more appealing than mine.

You can't always be a leading lady.

Men need to feel important. They feel better when they're with younger girls or unknown girls.

Everything in this country [the US] has got to be good looks and unlined faces and thin bodies and people running around in skirts slit up to their ass. It has nothing to do with thinking or with being a human being. There is life in mature people; it's not all over at 24½.

I was this flat-chested, big-footed, lanky thing.
