They think I'm crazy, ... But trust me, I'm 100 percent there.
You sit alone. It's night outside. Automobiles roll down Sunset Boulevard like an endless string of beetles. Their rubber tires make a purring high-class noise. You're hungry, and you say, 'It's not good for my waistline to eat.' There's nothing finer than a washboard belly.
Imperfection is beauty. Madness is genius and it is better to be absolutely ridiculous then absolutly boring.
Blond hair and breasts, that's how I got started. I couldn't act. All I had was blond hair and a body men liked. The reason I got ahead is that I was lucky and met the right men.
Mv first contract with 20th Century-Fox was like my first vaccination. It didn't take.
A wise girl kisses but doesn't love, listens but doesnt believe, and leaves before she is left.
I've never been in a Hollywood fight or feud. I have the most wonderful memory for forgetting things.
People ask me if I am going on making cheesecake pictures now that I'm a star. My answer is that as long as there is a boy in Korea who wants a pinup of me, I'll go on posing for them.

Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.
I used to think as I looked at the Hollywood night, 'there must be thousands of girls sitting alone like me, dreaming of becoming a movie star. But I'm not going to worry about them. I'm dreaming the hardest.'
You can't sleep your way into being a star, though. It takes much, much more. But it helps. A lot of actresses get their first chance that way.
Even though I was born there, I still can't think of one good thing to say about it. If I close my eyes, and picture LA, all I see is one big varicose vein.
You would think all other women kept their bodies in vaults.
