If you want to give up the admiration of thousands of men for the distain of one, go ahead, get married.
I realised long ago that skirts are hopeless. Anytime I hear a man say he prefers a woman in a skirt, I say, 'Try one. Try a skirt.'
It's a business you go into because your an egocentric. It's a very embarrassing profession.
I always wanted to be a movie actress. I thought it was very romantic. And it was.
You can say or write anything about me you like. Just don't, for any reason, ever tell the truth.
I'm what is known as gradually disintegrating. I don't fear the next world, or anything. I don't fear hell, and I don't look forward to heaven.
I welcome death. In death there are no interviews!
I remember as a child going around with "Votes For Women" balloons. I learnt early what it is to be snubbed for a good cause.
Afraid of death? Not at all. Be a great relief. Then I wouldn't have to talk to you.
I don't think that work ever really destroyed anybody. I think that lack of work destroys them a hell of a lot more.
Show me an actress who isn't a personality and I'll show you a woman who isn't a star.
I think everyone is an opportunist if they have an opportunity.
