“Fame gives you everything you never wanted.”

When I’m old and gray, I want to have a house by the sea. And paint. With a lot of wonderful chums, good music, and booze around. And a damn good kitchen to cook in.

It’s a pity nobody believes in simple lust anymore.

I couldn’t imagine a better place [Australia] for making a film on the end of the world.

I have only one rule in acting – trust the director and give him heart and soul.

If I had my life to live over again, I’d live it the same way. Maybe a few changes here or there, but nothing special. The truth is, honey, I’ve enjoyed my life. I’ve had a hell of a good time.

Petting is the study of the anatomy in braille.

God knows I’ve got so many frailties myself, I ought to be able to understand and forgive them in others. But I don’t.

I must have seen more sunrises than any other actress in the history of Hollywood.

Because I was promoted as a sort of a siren and played all those sexy broads, people made the mistake of thinking I was like that off the screen. They couldn’t have been more wrong.

Hollywood – that’s a place where love is viewed both pragmatically and philosophically in the saying, ‘Tis better to have loved and divorced than never to have had any publicity at all.

Doing nothing feels like floating on warm water to me. Delightful, perfect.

Oh, what the hell did I know? I went to the set the first day in full makeup and the director told me to take it off. So I did the film without makeup. I had nothing to do with anything I did. I never understood why I was so famous.

I haven’t taken an overdose of sleeping pills and called my agent. I haven’t been in jail, and I don’t go running to the psychiatrist every two minutes. That’s something of an accomplishment these days.

I wish to live to 150 years old, but the day I die, I wish it to be with a cigarette in one hand and a glass of whiskey in the other.

I was lazy. I would have been a hell of a lot better actress had I taken it more seriously. I never had the proper respect for acting. Quite often, I learned my lines on the way to the studio.

When I lose my temper, honey, you can’t find it any place.

To be recognized for the hard work my team and I put into ‘Starboy’ is an honor.

Bob Marley isn’t my name. I don’t even know my name yet.

Every man’s last day is fixed. Lifetimes are brief, and not to be regained, for all mankind. But by their deeds to make their fame last: that is labor for the brave.

Almost anyone can be an author; the business is to collect money and fame from this state of being.

Notoriety is often mistaken for fame.

There is no greater fame for a man than that which he wins with his footwork or the skill of his hands.
