Men who think that a woman's past love affairs lessen her love for them are usually stupid and weak.

Looking back, I guess I used to play-act all the time. For one thing, it meant I could live in a more interesting world than the one around me.

The real lover is the man who can thrill you by kissing your forehead.

I have never been able to wear pajamas or creepy nightgowns; they disturb my sleep.

Fame to me certainly is only a temporary and a partial happiness ... fame is not really for a daily diet, that's not what fulfills you. It warms you a bit but the warming is temporary. It's like caviar, you know - it's good to have caviar but not when you have to have it every meal and every day.

Someone said to me, 'If fifty percent of the experts in Hollywood said you had no talent and should give up, what would you do?' My answer was then and still is, 'If a hundred percent told me that, all one hundred percent would be wrong.'

The 'public' scares me, but people I trust.
