When you talk about a great actor, you're not talking about Tom Cruise. His whole behavior is so shocking.

When everything happens to you when you're so young, you're very lucky, but by the same token, you're never going to have that same feeling again. The first time anything happens to you - your first love, your first success - the second one is never the same.

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

The best things in life are clean living, good works, and big saphires. And not in that order.

The problem in America as far as actors are concerned - and it's probably true in other fields, as well - is that they don't value people who are older or talented. I don't think ability means anything. How much money you have or how much money you can make for them are the only things they seem to care about or understand.

When a woman reaches twenty-six in America, she's on the slide. It's downhill all the way from then on. It doesn't give you a tremendous feeling of confidence and well-being.
