“I was hired to be an actress, not a personality for the press.”

I never say ‘never,’ and I never say ‘always.’

Our life dictates a certain kind of wardrobe.

I loved acting. I didn’t particularly like being a movie star.

A person has to keep something to herself or you’re life is just a layout in a magazine.

I am basically a feminist. I think that women can do anything they decide to do.

Anger and anger can not solve any problem.

Although I’ve played a wide variety of roles, I’ve never had the chance to act in a story written specially for me. It’s a pity as they are the only stories that really let you reveal your personality.

A woman needs ropes and ropes of pearls.

I’ve always treated my children as beings in their own right. I respect their feelings and aspirations entirely.

Women’s natural role is to be a pillar of the family.

Other women looked on me as a rival. And it pained me a great deal.
