In leaving Hollywood and coming to New York, I feel I can be more myself. After all, if I can't be myself, what's the good of being anything at all?

Frankly, I've never considered my own figure so exceptional; until quite recently, I seldom gave it any thought at all

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.

I once wanted to prove myself by being a great actress. Now I want to prove that I'm a person. Then maybe I'll be a great actress.

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

I enjoy acting when you really hit it right.

Everyone's a star and deserves the right to twinkle.
