It is wonderful to have someone praise you, to be desired.

First, I'm trying to prove to myself that I'm a person. Then maybe I'll convince myself that I'm an actress.

I've always felt toward the slightest scene, even if all I had to do in a scene was just to come in and say, 'Hi,' that the people ought to get their money's worth and that this is an obligation of mine, to give them the best you can get from me.

(about her teen years) My admirers all said the same thing in different ways. It was my fault, their wanting to kiss and hug me.

My public is growing up just as I am. After all, I'm not 19 anymore and if I stick with the sex bit, who will be paying to see me when I'm 50?

I learned to walk when I was ten months old and I've been walking this way ever since.

No girl should ever forget that she doesn't need anyone who doesn't need her.
