You realize yourself when you start reflecting - because I don't live in the past, although your past is so much a part of what you are - that you can't ignore it. But I don't look at scrapbooks.

I never believed marriage was a lasting institution . . . I thought that to be married for five years was to be married forever.

They think actors are freaks - that we're a lot of drunks who party all the time and never work. Well, I for one work my tail off.

Well, the people I've known I must say are extraordinary. When I think about some of them, I can't believe that I knew them all. And I think the reason I knew most of them at the beginning was because they were of Bogie's generation, 25 years my senior, not mine. But they were the most talented people of all.

I’m not ashamed of what I am - of how I pass through this life. What I am has given me the strength to do it. At my lowest ebb I have never contemplated suicide. I value what is here too much. I have a contribution to make. I am not just take up space in this life. I can add something to the lives I touch. I don’t like everything I know about myself, and I’ll never be satisfied, but nobody’s perfect. I’m not sure where the next years will take me - what they will hold - but I’m open to suggestions.

If goodness is its own reward, shouldn't we get a little something for being naughty?

The biggest misconception people have about me is that I'm in control of every situation. I'm rarely in control of any situation.
