Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else.
Behind every cloud is another cloud.
For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul.
How strange when an illusion dies. It's as though you've lost a child.
I can live without money, but I cannot live without love.
I think there's something peculiar about me that I haven't died. It doesn't make sense but I refuse to die.
I try to bring the audience's own drama - tears and laughter they know about - to them.
I was born at the age of twelve on an MGM lot.
I'm the original take-orders girl.
I've always taken 'The Wizard of Oz' very seriously, you know. I believe in the idea of the rainbow. And I've spent my entire life trying to get over it.

There have been times when I have deliberately tried to take my life... I think I must have been crying for some attention.
'Twas not my lips you kissed but my soul.
We cast away priceless time in dreams, born of imagination, fed upon illusion, and put to death by reality.
You are never so alone as when you are ill on stage. The most nightmarish feeling in the world is suddenly to feel like throwing up in front of four thousand people.
You shouldn't be told you're completely irresponsible and be left alone with too much medication. It's too easy to forget. You take a couple of sleeping pills and you wake up in twenty minutes and forget you've taken them. So you take a couple more, and the next thing you know you've taken too many.
