I don't want to play sex roles any more. I'm tired of being known as the girl with the shape.

You're the beautiful one. It's society that's ugly.

Having a child, that's always been my biggest fear. I want a child and I fear a child.

A career is born in public - talent in privacy.

Being a sex symbol is a heavy load to carry, especially when one is tired, hurt and bewildered.

Joe: You don't want me, Sugar. I'm a liar and a phony. A saxophone player. One of those no-goodniks you keep running away from. Sugar: I know, every time. Joe: Sugar, do yourself a favor. Go back to where the millionaires are, the sweet end of the lollipop, not the cole slaw in the face, the old socks and the squeezed-out tube of toothpaste. Sugar: That's right. Pour it on. Talk me out of it. (She grabs him to kiss him.)

Acting became important. It became an art that belonged to the actor, not to the director or producer, or the man whose money had bought the studio. It was an art that transformed you into somebody else, that increased your life and mind. I had always loved acting and tried hard to learn it. But with Michael Chekhov, acting became more than a profession to me. It became a sort of religion.
