I want to be an artist, not... a celluloid aphrodisiac.

The more I think of it, the more I realize there are no answers. Life is to be lived.

They've said I want to direct pictures. I couldn't direct traffic.

Fame may go by and - so long, I've had you.

Hollywood parties not only confuse me, but they often disillusion me. The disillusion comes when I meet a movie star I’ve been admiring since childhood. I always thought that movie stars were exciting and talented people full of special personality. Meeting one of them at a party I discover usually that he (or she) is colorless and even frightened. I’ve often stood silent at a party for hours listening to my movie idols turn into dull and little people.

Some of my foster families used to send me to the movies to get me out of the house and there I'd sit all day and way into the night. Up in front, there with the screen so big, a little kid all alone, and I loved it. I loved anything that moved up there and I didn't miss anything that happened and there was no popcorn either.

In fact, my popularity seems almost entirely a masculine phenomenon.
