We are all of us stars, and we deserve to twinkle.
An actress is not a machine, but they treat you like a machine. A money machine.
Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are.
If you can make a woman laugh, you can make her do anything.
Fear is stupid. So are regrets.
What do I wear in bed? Why, Chanel No. 5, of course
You might as well make yourself fly as to make yourself love.
From My Story
Husbands are chiefly good as lovers when they are betraying their wives.
I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.

Fame is like caviar, you know — it's good to have caviar but not when you have it at every meal.
The real lover is the man who can thrill you by kissing your forehead or smiling into your eyes or just staring into space.
If I'd observed all the rules, I'd never got anywhere.
A smile is the best makeup a girl could wear
I have feelings too. I am still human. All I want is to be loved, for myself and for my talent.
For those who are poor in happiness, each time is a first time; happiness never becomes a habit.
From My Story
No one ever told me I was pretty when I was a little girl. All little girls should be told they're pretty, even if they aren't.
A wise girl knows her limits, a smart girl knows that she has none.
Some of my foster families used to send me to the movies to get me out of the house and there I'd sit all day and way into the night. Up in front, there with the screen so big, a little kid all alone, and I loved it. I loved anything that moved up there and I didn't miss anything that happened and there was no popcorn either.
I could never pretend something I didn't feel. I could never make love if I didn't love, and if I loved I could no more hide the fact than change the color of my eyes.

Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.
