I decided to retire from show business at the age of 17, because I didn't like it a bit.

I've always been the breadwinner and men don't like that. They turn on you. They bite the hand that feeds them. Eventually, too, they become very jealous of the love one has with an audience.

In truth, it requires not only a large intellect, but a large heart, to judge with becoming charity of the peculiar temptations of riches.

No wedding bells for me anymore. I've been happily married to my profession for years.

You want success and then when you do get it, you don't want it because of the attention.

Diamonds never leave you... men do!

I was a wild kid. I was left to climb trees. And you know those railways logs, they piled them up, six feet apart, and I'd jump from one to the other. Without a safety net! I was an incredible tomboy.
