Two of an actress's greatest assets are love and pain. A great actress, even a good actress, must have plenty of both in her life.
I'm a legend because I've survived over a long period of time and still seem to be master of my fate - I'm still paddling the goddamned boat myself.
Sometimes I wonder if men and women really suit each other. Perhaps they should live next door and just visit now and then.
Once a crowd chased me for an autograph. 'Beat it, ' I said, 'go sit on a tack!' 'We made you, ' they said. 'Like hell you did, ' I told them.
Cold sober, I find myself absolutely fascinating.
Only the really plain people know about love - the very fascinating ones try so hard to create an impression that they soon exhaust their talents.
Acting is a nice childish profession - pretending you're someone else and, at the same time, selling yourself.
Plain women know more about men than beautiful ones do. But beautiful women don't need to know about men. It's the men who have to know about beautiful women.
What in the world would we do without our libraries?
What the hell-you might be right, you might be wrong...but don't just avoid.
As for me, prizes are nothing. My prize is my work.
If you have to support yourself, you had bloody well better find some way that is going to be interesting.
Why slap them on the wrist with feather when you can belt them over the head with a sledgehammer.
Dressing up is a bore. At a certain age, you decorate yourself to attract the opposite sex, and at a certain age, I did that. But I'm past that age.
