“I had to use my wits or else I'd have been sunk - and nothings going to sink me. Everyone was always pulling at me, tugging at me, as if they wanted a piece of me. It was always, 'do this, do that,' and not just on the job but off, too. God, I've tried to stay intact, whole.”

“I have feelings too. I am still human. All I want is to be loved, for myself and for my talent. ”

“I have too many fantasies to be a housewife.... I guess I am a fantasy.”

“I've often stood silent at a party for hours listening to my movie idols turn into dull and little people. ”

“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.”
