Do people ever get over being shy? I think it’s with you for life-like the color of your eyes.

I want to be an artist, not... a celluloid aphrodisiac.

I'm so many people. They shock me sometimes. I wish I was just me! I used to think I was going crazy, until I discovered that some people I admired were like that to.

That's the way you feel when you're beaten inside. You don't feel angry at those who've beaten you. You just feel ashamed.

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

There is a need for aloneness, which I don't think most people realise for an actor. It's almost having certain kinds of secrets for yourself that you'll let the whole world in on only for a moment, when you're acting. But everybody is always tugging at you. They'd all like sort of a chunk of you.

I live to succeed, not to please you or anyone else.
