In Hollywood a girl's virtue is much less important than her hairdo. You're judged by how you look, not by what you are. Hollywood's a place where they'll pay you a thousand dollars for kiss, and fifty cents for your soul. I know, because I turned down the first offer often enough and held out for the fifty.

When I was five I think, that's when I started wanting to be an actress.

I usually eat four or five raw carrots with my meat, and that is all. I must be part rabbit; I never get bored with raw carrots

When I was 11, the whole world was closed to me. I just felt I was on the outside of the world.

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

Respect is one of life's greatest treasures. I mean, what does it all add up to if you don't have that?

I have noticed... that men usually leave married women alone and are inclined to treat all wives with respect. This is no great credit to married women.
