People respect you because they feel you've survived hard times and endured, and although you've become famous, you haven't become phony.

Sometimes I've been to a party where no one spoke to me for a whole evening. The men, frightened by their wives or sweeties, would give me a wide berth. And the ladies would gang up in a corner to discuss my dangerous character.

I don't want everybody to see exactly where I live, what my sofa or my fireplace looks like.

When you have only a single dream it is more than likely to come true - because you keep working toward it without getting mixed up.

When you're famous you kind of run into human nature in a raw kind of way. It stirs up envy, fame does.

I think I made his back feel better.

I could never pretend something I didn't feel. I could never make love if I didn't love, and if I loved I could no more hide the fact than change the color of my eyes.
