I can't deny the fact that you like me! You like me!
I've done some good work and some not-good work.
I've never had my heart broken. It's a very sad state of affairs. I think everybody should have their heart broken. I don't think it says anything good about me at all.
I have never been beautiful in cliche terms.
I certainly have a very colorful nature, filled with great highs and great lows... in my early adulthood I probably was grappling with some serious depression issues.
If I hadn't fought back, I might have been Gidget forever.
Acting has been my lover and best friend. My confidant and my tormentor. It has given me support and broken my heart and mended it.
I haven't had an orthodox career.
When I was born, the doctor looked at my mother and said, 'Congratulations, you have an actor!'
Don't you be afraid, sweetheart. Death is just a part of life, something we're all destined to do.
I always wanted to be a great actor.
Get over it. Get on with your life.
I started to repeat to myself "If I'm not where I want to be, it's because I'm not good enough... yet." Which meant it was up to me.
Never, ever, have I felt really accepted in Hollywood.
