• I don't know who invented high heels, but all women owe him a lot.

• Creativity has got to start with humanity and when you're a human being, you feel, you suffer.

• A career is wonderful thing, but you can't snuggle up to it on a cold night.

• It's better to be unhappy alone than unhappy with someone.

• It's better for the whole world to know you, even as a sex star, than never to be known at all.

• Acting isn't something you do. Instead of doing it, it occurs. If you're going to start with logic, you might as well give up. You can have conscious preparation, but you have unconscious results.

• A career is born in public -- talent in privacy.

• Being a sex symbol is a heavy load to carry, especially when one is tired, hurt and bewildered.

• I've often stood silent at a party for hours listening to my movie idols turn into dull and little people.

• I restore myself when I'm alone.
