“Hollywood is the same as any other place when it comes to love, marriage, and divorce … some people have trouble staying married and some people have trouble staying single.”

Once you were a starlet. Then you’re a star. Can you be a starlet again?

I will never be satisfied. Life is one constant search for the betterment for me.

We eat a lot of lean meat and fresh vegetables.

My earliest memories are the best. I always try to remember the good times when Daddy was alive.

Carrying a baby is the most rewarding experience a female can enjoy. A father shares in that experience, knowing that he caused it to happen.

I guess a lot of people think that a girl who shows her bosom and wears tight dresses can’t be close to God. God has always been close to me. Only He knew what was in my heart.

Stars were made to suffer, and I am a star.

Carrying a baby is the most rewarding experience a woman can enjoy.

I hope that I have given happiness to others. I hope I have given children to the world, and that I have made some kind of a mark for myself here.

I like being a pin-up girl. There’s nothing wrong with it.

I don’t want to get involved in the racial situation at the expense of losing fans. I wouldn’t say anything too strong but I do know that God created us equal and we’re not living up to it.

I don’t know why you people [the press] like to compare me to Marilyn or that girl, what’s her name, Kim Novak. Cleavage, of course, helped me a lot to get where I am. I don’t know how they got there.

It is the most wonderful feeling in the world, knowing you are loved and wanted.

No one wants to see or read about a dull subject. I don’t consider myself a dull subject.

Most girls don’t know what to do with what they’ve got.

A woman should be pink and cuddly for a man.

My faith is a wounded faith, but my life is not without faith. I didn’t divorce God, but I’m quarrelling and arguing and questioning, it’s a wounded faith.

My parents divorced, and I didn’t have much of a daddy growing up.

The worst reconciliation is better than the best divorce.

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.

You know why divorces are so expensive? They’re worth it.

Land and sea, weakness and decline are great separators, but death is the great divorcer for ever.

I am a woman who is a granddaughter of a lady who used to be beaten on the head by her husband, of a mother who went through hell because she was divorced and had to bring up these kids. And I can take 10 men out to lunch and pay the bill, and nobody even thinks twice about it. So don’t mess with me.

I tell you, if I’m going to go through a divorce, I would date again a younger man. Because I have so much energy, there’s no way an older man can keep up with me.
