I am not interested in money. I just want to be wonderful - No one ever told me I was pretty when I was a little girl. All little girls should be told they are pretty, even if they aren't - The body is meant to be seen, not all covered up - I've been on a calendar, but never on time - I have too many fantasies to be a housewife. I guess I am a fantasy - An actress is not a machine, but they treat you like a machine. A money machine - Being a sex symbol is a heavy load to carry, especially when one is tired, hurt and bewildered - I don't mind living in a man's world as long as I can be a woman in it - It's not true that I had nothing on. I had the radio on - I'm going to be a great movie star some day - Hollywood is a place where they'll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss and fifty cents for your soul - I don't mind making jokes, but I don't want to look like one - I want to grow old without facelifts. I want to have the courage to be loyal to the face I have made - I knew I belonged to the public and to the world, not because I was talented or even beautiful, but because I had never belonged to anything or anyone else - I learned to walk as a baby and I haven't had a lesson since. - If you can make a girl laugh, you can make her do anything. - It's better to be unhappy alone than unhappy with someone, so far. - I don't know who invented high heels, but all women owe him a lot - What do I wear in bed? Why? Chanel No. 5, of course. - It's often just enough to be with someone. I don't need to touch them. Not even talk. A feeling passes between you both. You're not alone. - Before marriage, a girl has to make love to a man to hold him. After marriage, she has to hold him to make love to him. - We are all of us stars and we all deserve to twinkle - Only the public can make a star. It's the studios who try to make a system out of it.
