It was my fans who made me a star.

My illusions didn't have anything to do with being a fine actress. I knew how third rate I was. I could actually feel my lack of talent, as if it were cheap clothes I was wearing inside. But, my God, how I wanted to learn, to change, to improve!

Ever notice how 'What the hell' is always the right answer?

It's not true I had nothing on, I had the radio on.

For a long time I was scared I'd find out I was like my mother.

I am invariably late for appointments - sometimes as much as two hours. I've tried to change my ways but the things that make me late are too strong, and too pleasing.

I'm one of the world's most self-conscious people. I really have to struggle.
