A kiss is a lovely trick designed by nature to stop speech when words become superfluous.
Be yourself. The world worships the original.
Cancer victims who don't accept their fate, who don't learn to live with it, will only destroy what little time they have left.
Happiness is good health and a bad memory.
I can do everything with ease on the stage, whereas in real life I feel too big and clumsy. So I didn't choose acting. It chose me.
I do not know how to kiss, or I would kiss you. Where do the noses go?
I don't think anyone has the right to intrude in your life, but they do. I would like people to separate the actress and the woman.
I have grown up alone. I've taken care of myself. I worked, earned money and was independent at 18.
I have no regrets. I wouldn't have lived my life the way I did if I was going to worry about what people were going to say.
I made so many films which were more important, but the only one people ever want to talk about is that one with Bogart.
I remember one day sitting at the pool and suddenly the tears were streaming down my cheeks. Why was I so unhappy? I had success. I had security. But it wasn't enough. I was exploding inside.
I was the shyest human ever invented, but I had a lion inside me that wouldn't shut up!
I've gone from saint to whore and back to saint again, all in one lifetime.
If you took acting away from me, I'd stop breathing.
It is not whether you really cry. It's whether the audience thinks you are crying.
There are advantages to being a star though - you can always get a table in a full restaurant.
Time is shortening. But every day that I challenge this cancer and survive is a victory for me.
Until 45 I can play a woman in love. After 55 I can play grandmothers. But between those ten years, it is difficult for an actress.
