I don't want to make money. I just want to be wonderful. |
I don't want to play sex roles any more. I'm tired of being known as the girl with the shape. |
I have feelings too. I am still human. All I want is to be loved, for myself and for my talent. |
I have too many fantasies to be a housewife. I guess I am a fantasy. |
I knew I belonged to the public and to the world, not because I was talented or even beautiful, but because I had never belonged to anything or anyone else. |
I learned to walk as a baby and I haven't had a lesson since. |
I restore myself when I'm alone. |
I used to think as I looked at the Hollywood night, 'there must be thousands of girls sitting alone like me, dreaming of becoming a movie star. But I'm not going to worry about them. I'm dreaming the hardest.' |
I want to grow old without facelifts... I want to have the courage to be loyal to the face I've made. Sometimes I think it would be easier to avoid old age, to die young, but then you'd never complete your life, would you? You'd never wholly know you |
I was never used to being happy, so that wasn't something I ever took for granted. I did sort of think, you know, marriage did that. You see, I was brought up differently from the average American child because the average child is brought up expecting to be happy - that's it, successful, happy, and on time. |
I'm a failure as a woman. My men expect so much of me, because of the image they've made of me and that I've made of myself, as a sex symbol. Men expect so much, and I can't live up to it. |
I'm going to be a great movie star some day. |
I'm very definitely a woman and I enjoy it. |
I've always felt those articles somehow reveal more about the writers than they do about me. |
I've been on a calendar, but never on time. |
