“I restore myself when I'm alone.”

“I used to think as I looked out on 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.”

“try to enjoy myself when I can - I'll be miserable enough as it is.”

“When it comes down to it, I let them think what they want. If they care enough to bother with what I do, then I'm already better than them.”

“I'm a failure as a woman. My men expect so much of me, because of the image they've made of me—and that I've made of myself—as a sex symbol. They expect bells to ring and whistles to whistle, but my anatomy is the same as any other woman's and I can't live up to it”

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

“I'm very definitely a woman and I enjoy it. ”
