The thing I want more than anything else? I want to have children. I used to feel for every child I had, I would adopt another.

All my stepchildren carried the burden of my fame. Sometimes they would read terrible things about me, and I'd worry about whether it would hurt them. I would tell them: 'Don't hide these things from me. I'd rather you ask me these things straight out, and I'll answer all your questions.'

I have feelings too. I am still human. All I want is to be loved, for myself and for my talent.

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

The worst thing that happens to people when they dress up and go to a party is that they leave their real selves at home.

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.

I've never fooled anyone. I've let people fool themselves. They didn't bother to find out who and what I was. Instead they would invent a character for me. I wouldn't argue with them. They were obviously loving somebody I wasn't.
