In Rockford I decided that I had seen enough of the world.

Trying to build myself up with the fact that I have done things right that were even good and have had moments that were excellent but the bad is heavier to carry around and feel have no confidence.

No girl should ever forget that she doesn't need anyone who doesn't need her.

I used to think as I looked out on the Hollywood night, 'There must be thousands of girls sitting alone like me dreaming of being a movie star.' But I'm not going to worry about them. I'm dreaming the hardest.

There is just no comparison between having a dinner date with a man and staying home playing canasta with the girls.

You might as well make yourself fly as to make yourself love.

Some people have been unkind. If I say I want to grow as an actress, they look at my figure. If I say I want to develop, to learn my craft, they laugh. Somehow they don't expect me to be serious about my work.
