Growing up takes longer than you think.

You can't start worrying about what's going to happen. You get spastic enough worrying about what's happening now.

Remember what Bogie and my mother both used to say: 'Character is the most important thing. All that matters is character!'

You spend a good part of your adult life acquiring things: building a home, filling it with objects that please your eye and make you feel comfortable. Then you spend the last part of your life trying to figure out how to get rid of it all.

I find that through the sad times, work is what made my continuing, not breaking down, possible. In work, I was always someone else and I subconsciously reveled in that.

I always thought I had crooked eyebrows and crooked teeth. That's why I never understood why people called me a beauty.

You can't always be a leading lady.
