"I don't give a damn about marriage. But I do care about honor."

 

"The only time I am ever miserable is when I do something just for the money."

 

"I am a total me, me, Me person."

 

"Not everyone is lucky enough to understand how delicious it is to suffer."

 

"The shakes stop if you drink enough, but then so does everything else."

 

"Most people are raised to believe they are just as good as the next person. I was always told I was better."

 

"I would have made a terrible parent.  The first time my child didn't do what I wanted, I'd kill him."

 

"Cold sober, I find myself absolutely fascinating."

 

"I'm a legend because I've survived over a long period of time and still seem to be master of my fate - I'm still paddling the goddamned boat myself."

 

"I don't believe in marriage. It's bloody impractical to love, honour and obey."

 

"They'll miss me, like an old monument. Like the Flatiron Building."

 

"I was totally unaware that we were the second-rate sex."

 

"Sometimes I wonder if men and women really suit each other. Perhaps they should live next door and just visit now and then."

 

"I never realized until lately that women were supposed to be inferior."

 

"Only when a woman decides not to have children, can a woman live like a man. That's what I've done."

 

"Once a crowd chased me for an autograph. "Beat it," I said, "go sit on a tack!" "We made you," they said. "Like hell you did," I told them."

 

"If you want to sacrifice the admiration of many men for the criticism of one, go ahead, get married."

 

"Life is hard. After all, it kills you."

 

"Plain women know more about men than beautiful ones do."

 

"It's a bore - B-O-R-E - when you find you've begun to rot."

 

"If you lead a public life, people are much more on to you than you think."

 

"I think the reason that very few people really fall in love with anyone is that they're not willing to pay the price."

 

"I like to move fast, and wearing high heels was tough, and low heels with a skirt is unattractive. So pants took over."

 

"You sell yourself. The part that I sell is the creature. The adorable part."

 

"Two of the greatest assets for an actress are love and pain. She must have plenty of both in her life."

 

"I was brought up by two extremely intelligent people who gave me the greatest gift that man can give anyone, and that is freedom from fear."

 

"I think all good actors are personalities. If they're not, they're not stars. What makes you a star is horsepower."

 

"I didn't have any desire to be an actress or to learn how to act. I just wanted to be famous."
