Kiss me. Kiss me as if it were the last time.
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.
Acting is the best medicine in the world - if you're not feeling well, it goes away because you are busy thinking about something that isn't yourself. We actors are very fortunate people.
Be yourself. The world worships the original.
Happiness is good health and a bad memory.
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.
my life has been wonderful. I have done what I felt like. I was given courage and I was given adventure and that has carried me along. And then also a sense of humor and a little bit of common sense. It has been a very rich life.
A kiss is a lovely trick designed by nature to stop speech when words become superfluous.
There are advantages to being a star though - you can always get a table in a full restaurant.
One is never too old for romance.
I have had my different husbands, my families. I am fond of them all and I visit them all. But deep inside me there is the feeling that I belong to show business.
