Having a home, husband, and child ought to be enough for any woman's life. I mean, that's what we are meant for, isn't it? But still I think every day is a lost day. As if only half of me is alive. The other half is pressed down in a bag and suffocated.
I have had a wonderful life. I have never regretted what I did. I regret things I didn't do. All my life I've done things at a moment's notice. Those are the things I remember. I was given courage, a sense of adventure and a little bit of humor. I don't think anyone has the right to intrude in your life, but they do. I would like people to separate the actress and the woman.
I was not beautiful. When I went to Hollywood the beauties were people like Joan Crawford, Hedy Lamarr, Loretta Young. They were incredibly glamorous. I was always the girl next door.
Be yourself. The world worships the original.
I have no regrets. I wouldn't have lived my life the way I did if I was going to worry about what people were going to say.
A kiss is a secret told to the mouth instead of the ear; kisses are the messengers of love and tenderness.
A kiss is a lovely trick designed by nature to stop speech when words become superfluous.
One is never too old for romance.
Until 45 I can play a woman in love. After 55 I can play grandmothers. But between those ten years, it is difficult for an actress.
I didn't choose acting. It chose me.

I do not know how to kiss, or I would kiss you. Where do the noses go?
A kiss is the natures way to stop a conversation, when the words are superfluous
