forgiving able frailty
God knows I've got so many frailties myself, I ought to be able to understand and forgive them in others. But I don't.
looks
All I have going is my looks. When my beauty goes, I'm through.
inspiration superficial deep-down
Deep down, I'm pretty superficial.
night years people
I want to remember it all, the good times and the bad times, the late nights, the boozing, the dancing into dawns, and all the great and not-so-great people I met and loved in those years…
men phones world
Our phone bills were astronomical, and when I found the letters Frank wrote me the other day, the total could fill a suitcase. Every single day during our relationship, no matter where in the world I was, I'd get a telegram from Frank saying he loved me and missed me. He was a man who was deseperate for companionship and love. Can you wonder that he always had mine!
honey temper loses

He'd break into my hotel room, which he did in Italy, London and at the Beverly Hills Hotel, attack me to where I was frightened for my life, and scream, 'Why won't you marry me?' Well, I would never marry a man who couldn't control his liquor. Me, I'm a happy drunk. I laugh, I dance. I certainly don't break bottles and threaten to kill.
love-is publicity hollywood
Hollywood - that's a place where love is viewed both pragmatically and philosophically in the saying, 'Tis better to have loved and divorced than never to have had any publicity at all.
inspirational motivational heart
I have only one rule in acting - trust the director and give him heart and soul.
reason
I do everything for a reason. Most of the time the reason is money.
marriage thinking analysis
Maybe, in the final analysis, they saw me as something I wasn't and I tried to turn them into something they could never be. I loved them all but maybe I never understood any of them. I don't think they understood me.
believe simple lust
It’s a pity nobody believes in simple lust anymore.
girl country believe
Although no one believes me, I have always been a country girl and still have a country girl's values
