“I’ve always liked men better than women.”

People often become actresses because of something they dislike about themselves: They pretend they are someone else.

There is a certain ecstasy in wanting things you can’t get.

Technicolor makes me look like death warmed over.

It’s better to be hated for who you are, than to be loved for someone you’re not. It’s a sign of your worth sometimes, if you’re hated by the right people.

Acting should be bigger than life. Scripts should be bigger than life. It should all be bigger than life.

Life is the past, the present and the perhaps.
