I was never happy as a child, so it wasn't something I took for granted.i did'nt grow up as an average, american child. An average child grows up with an expectation of being happy.

I don't consider myself an intellectual. And this is not one of my aims. But I admire intellectual people.

I've found men are less likely to let petty things annoy them.

First, I'm trying to prove to myself that I'm a person. Then maybe I'll convince myself that I'm an actress.

At twelve I looked like a girl of seventeen. My body was developed and shapely. I still wore the blue dress and the blouse the orphanage provided. They made me look like an overgrown lummox.

I don't mind living in a man's world as long as I can be a woman in it.

Happiness never becomes a habit.
