Most men judge your importance in their lives by how much you can hurt them.

My travels have always been of the same kind. No matter where I've gone or why I've gone there it ends up that I never see anything. Becoming a movie star is living on a merry-go-round. When you travel you take the merry-go-round with you. You don't see natives or new scenery. You see chiefly the same press agents, the same sort of interviewers, and the same picture layouts of yourself.

My work is the only ground I've ever had to stand on.

My marriage didn't make me sad, but it didn't make me happy either. My husband and I hardly spoke to each other. This wasn't because we were angry. We had nothing to say. I was dying of boredom.

Fame is fickle, and I know it. It has its compensations but it also has its drawbacks, and I've experienced them both.

People always ask me if I believe diamonds are a girl's best friend. Frankly, I don't.

No one ever told me I was pretty when I was a little girl. All little girls should be told they're pretty, even if they aren't.
