giving fame wanted
Fame gives you everything you never wanted.
beautiful
Elizabeth Taylor is not beautiful, she is pretty—I was beautiful.
kids actresses looks
I was never an actress -- none of us kids at Metro were. We were just good to look at.
fun taken sleep
I've certainly never taken the care of myself that I should have. On the contrary. I've done a lot of late nights without enough sleep and all that. But I've had fun. Whatever wrinkles are there, I've enjoyed getting them.
thinking reason wells
I think the main reason my marriages failed is that I always loved too well but never wisely.
lust gold nuggets
So this was where lust was satisfied. If I'd been an old-time miner I'd have asked for my gold nugget back.
taken lazy acting
I was lazy. I would have been a hell of a lot better actress had I taken it more seriously. I never had the proper respect for acting. Quite often, I learned my lines on the way to the studio.
sexy mistake thinking
Because I was promoted as a sort of a siren and played all those sexy broads, people made the mistake of thinking I was like that off the screen. They couldn't have been more wrong
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
When I lose my temper, honey, you can't find it any place.
