I don't enjoy the life of an actress, but I don't want to go into that. |
My face has always been my fortune anyway, not my body. |
In any of the arts, you never stop learning. |
In my day, people didn't do nude scenes. I mean they didn't exist. |
When I was in England doing Romeo and Juliet as a child star, I was interviewed by the British press, who are even more vicious and cruel than the Americans. So I have been extremely guarded ever since. |
Film is different for me now. If the money is good and it's not totally revolting, I'll do it. |
I learned from watching and I learned form doing. |
There are several paths one can take, but not every path is open to you. |
I don't think actresses' lives in general are very good. |
I started on a very high note and I was alwasy able to choose. I want to be able to do that until my last breath. And to do that, you have to have money. |
I am interested in the art. I'm a professional woman. |
I have no intention of discussing my private life with anyone. |
You can't pretend to be a Sharon Stone or a Marilyn Monroe. You really can't fake that. |
In my book, I was trying to get into my own soul. |
Security has no place in the life of an actress. |
I remember seeing some little wrinkles in my early 30s and thinking they were interesting. But you know the horror of it is that the screen image has to be perfect. |
I've spent my life pursing excellence as an artist, which is what I always wanted to do anyhow. |
I had a burning ambition. Otherwise, I wouldn't have accomplished it. |
