Quote
1
[when asked about her few television appearances] If people see too much of me on that little screen while they're sitting at home, they're not going to go out to see me in a movie. That would take away my life's greatest satisfaction.
2
[when asked about making more films] I don't need the money. My reward now comes in seeing lines at the box office waiting to see a movie of mine.
3
[on her films] I don't want to make pictures which people are not going to understand. I don't see any point to it. I want people to be entertained.
4
In life, I consider success inferior to celebrity. Success can be attained by many people; celebrity touches you, and supports you through life.
5
Money is important in life. It does not give you happiness, we all know, but it sure calms the nerves.
6
I believe I can consider the fact that having had portraits made of myself is manifesting a form of certain narcissism, but I cannot help it
7
I cannot complain about men. I have had tons of them and they have treated me fabulously well. But sometimes I had to hurt them to keep them from subjugating me.
8
[upon being asked her age by a journalist] Look, young lady, I have been very busy living my life and I've not had time to count it.
9
Some friends told me that pearls make people cry. The only pearls that have made me cry are false pearls
10
What can I do? I can't be ugly.
11
Me Empty? Nobody has seen inside of me.
